Bowls  and  Covers  are  moulded  from  an  odourless,  non-inflammable,  and  practi- 
cally unbreakable  new  material  of  a  beautiful  mottled  mahogany -brown  colour 
that  retains  its  polish  and  fine  appearance  indefinitely. 

Two  sizes  are  now  being  issued — the  smaller,  3|-  inches  in  diameter,  and  the 
larger — which  holds  six  months'  supply — 4|  inches  in  diameter. 

Refill  tablets  for  both  sized  bowls  are  made. 

Morny  Shaving  Soap  itself  is  everywhere  recognised  as  the  highest  quality 
Shaving  Soap  it  is  possible  to  manufacture  at  any  price. 

As  a  handsome  but  inexpensive  Gift,  and  equally  for  ready  sale  throughout 
the  year,  Morny  Shaving  Soap  in  the  new  artificial  Tortoiseshell  Bowls  will 
delight  the  retailer  who  takes  pride  in  introducing  superlative  products

still  going

(With  acknowledgments  to  Johnny  Walker) 


THE  WIGGLESWORTH  WAY 

in  its  very  early  youth  experienced  terrific 
opposition  to  its  policy  of  Window  Displays  with 
Pharmaceutical  Packed  Goods. 

Carboys  were  more  popular  than  show-cards — 
but  persistency  won. 

Soon  Chemists  were  asking  for  reservation  of 
lines.  Our  non-clashing  system  enhanced  the 
goodwill  of  our  business  enormously  and  is  still 
an  important  part  of  our  policy. 

To-day,  display»salesmanship  is  in  every 
Pharmacy,  and  with  it  has  come  the 
wisdom — that  nothing  can  be  cheap  that 
will  not  sell— that  good  quality  deserves 
good  advertising,  and  good  advertising 
is  wasted  on  an  inferior  product. 


If  you  share  these  views — 
share  our  prosperity,  too. 

ASK  FOR  A  PRICE  LIST  FIRST.

cordially  INVITE  all  their  CHEMIST  FRIENDS  to  visit  their 

STAND  NO.  36 

where  a  comprehensive  range  of  their  well-known  productions  will  be  displayed. 

The  vast  distribution  of  "  PHUL-NANA  "  and  "  SHEM-EL- 
NESSIM  "  bears  ample  testimony  to  the  fact  that 

ORIENTAL  PERFUMES 

are  still  great  public  favourites. 


NEW  PARFUM  JASMIN  SERIES 

This  fascinating,  alluring  and  original  series — Grossmith's  latest 
production — recommends  itself. 

The  remarkable  success  this  has  achieved  during  the  last  six  months 
is  sufficient  to  establish  the  confidence  of  all  chemists  and  perfumers. 

We  ask  our  numerous  customers  not  to  fail  to  take  advantage  of 
our  special  window  display  Bonus  Scheme. 

A  really  excellent  Hne  with  an  exceptional  MARGIN  OF  PROFIT. 

OLD  COTTAGE  LAVENDER  SERIES 

The  increasing  Sales  of  which  during  the  last  few  years  has  been 
remarkable,  has  been  supplemented  by  several  new  additions. 
The    SOLID   BRILLIANTINE— retailing   at    is.— although  only 
recently  introduced  is  already  an  established  success. 
The  SHAVING  STICK  and  SHAVING  CREAM— also  at  is.—  are 
likewise  ready  sellers. 

All  productions  show  a  liberal  MARGIN  OF  PROFIT  which  can 
be  further  augmented  if  advantage  is  taken  of  the  WINDOW 
DISPLAY  TERMS  offered  on  a  very  reasonable  parcel. 

Those  of  our  friends  who  are  unable  to  visit  the  Exhibition  are  invited  to 
communicate  by  post  when  the  fullest  particulars  will  be  gladly  provided.

Drugs  Don't  Make  the  Medicine 

IF  THEY  DID  there  would  be  no  science  of  Pharmacy,  there 
would  he  no  art  of  Dispensing.  But  it  is  scientific  knowledge  and 
strict  pharmaceutical  training  that  combine  to  maintain  the  high 
standard  of  British  Dispensing. 

It  is  just  so  in  the  making  of  Surgical  dressings,  and  even  more  so 
in  the  medicating  of  them. 

Anybody  can  dip  a  piece  of  lint  in  Boracic  lotion.  But  many  able 
men  have  found  that  when  this  is  done  they  have  not  really  made 
Boric  Lint — not  as  Vernon's  make  it. 

Behind  the  high  quality  of  Vernon's  Boric  Lint  lie  years  of  careful 
experiment  and  manufacturing  experience.  Their  system  of  medi- 
cation, which  charges  the  warp  and  woof  of  the  cloth  with  antiseptic 
efficiency  while  its  original  softness  is  retained,  makes  their  Boric 
Lint  the  standard  of  makers  and  the  choice  of  discriminating 
buyers. 

Ask  your  Wholesalers  for  Vernon's  Boric  Lint.  Although  the 
quality  is  so  good,  the  prices  are  thoroughly  competitive.  And  the 
interests  of  your  own  business  require  that  you  supply  the  best.

The  World's  leading

palmolive  Soap 

— in   the   biggest  adver-

this  money  so  that  you  can  sell  more  and  more

market. 

We  ask  for  your  co-operation — so  that  you  will 
reap  the  benefit  of  this  unprecedented  sales'push. 
Every  tablet  of  Palmolive  sold  must  pass  over  a

ment  at  least  10  times  during  the  first  3  months 
of  this  nation-wide  campaign.

NURSE  HARVEY'S  MIXTURE 


A  safe,  simple  and  reliable  remedy  for  Children's 
Ailments  is  advertised  so  extensively  in  the  daily 
and  weekly  Press  as  to  bring  mothers  to  the 
retailer  without  effort  on  his  part. 

The  selling  has  been  done  before  the  mother 
reaches  the  chemist,  and,  having  supplied  her,  it 
is  only  common  sense  to  claim  she  will  buy  other 
family  necessaries  from  him.  Moreover,  the  con- 
tinuous demand  for  it  produces  a  quick  turnover.

— Says  Mr.  G.  Booker,  M.P.S.,  of  Bentley,  Doncaster,  in  a 
requisition  for  further  supplies. 

Pharmacists  tell  us  that  our  new  series  of  four  page  leaflets 
have  done  more  to  increase  and  stabilise  the  sales  of  dog 
medicines  than  other  sales-aid.  The 
leaflets  are  "seasonal" 
and  topical,  and  give 
to  dog  owners  advice 
on  the  different 
troubles  met  with  in 
hot  weather,  cold 
weather  and  in  spring. 

Dog  owners  who  read  these 
leaflets  become  regular  and 
intelligent  users  of  dog  medi- 
cines. The  Display  Con- 
tainer, which  holds  140 
leaflets  takes  up  only  !•  sq.

The  Chemist  and  Druggist 


May  25,  1929 


Sheffield 

The  fine  weather  has  created  an  exceptional  demand 
for  photographic  material. 

Mr.  W.  B.  Faraday,  one  of  the  candidates  for  Atter- 
cliffe  division  of  Sheffield,  is  a  descendant  of  Michael 
Faraday. 

An  outbreak  of  fi)'6  occurred  recently  on  the  premises 
of  John  Clark  &  Co.,  chemists,  West  Street.  Fortu- 
nately the  fire  brigade  soon  had  the  flames  under  control 
and  prevented  damage  of  a  serious  nature-. 

Miscellaneous 

Faiechild  scholarship  and  prizes. — The  last  date  of 
entry  for  this  year's  examination  for  the  Fairchild 
scholarship  and  prizes  is  June  1. 

WiNBOW  SMASH. — Two  plate-glass  windows  at  the  phar- 
macy of  Mr.  A.  Smith,  chemist  and  druggist,  Tring, 
were  recently  smashed  by  a  motor-cyclist. 

May  Day  festival  award. — Mr.  R.  H.  Jones,  chemist 
and  druggist,  Pwllheli,  was  awarded  the  first  prize  in 
the  competition  for  "  Things  to  Use,"  in  connection  with 
the  local  May  Day  festival. 

In  the  courts. — At  Hanley,  on  May  13,  Lilian 
Phillips  was  sentenced  to  two  months'  imprisonment  for 
obtaining  by  false  pretences  a  puff  and  a  box  of  powder 
from  Mr.  John  Tirrell,  chemist  and  druggist,  Market 
Square. 

Analyst's  report. — The  Cheshire  county  analyst  re- 
ports that  one  sample  of  Gregory's  powder  recently  sub- 
mitted to  him  was  improperly  dispensed  in  that  light 
magnesia  had  been  wholly  substituted  by  carbonate  of 
magnesia.  Such  cases  suggest  carelessness  rather  than 
anything  fraudulent.  The  remaining  drugs,  of  a  house- 
hold type,  were  fully  in  accordance  with  their  officially 
defined  composition. 

Inquest. — The  death  of  Mr.  Lewis  MacLeod,  chemist 
and  druggist,  assistant  with  Mr.  P.  E.  F.  Perredes, 
Ph.C,  Lowestoft,  formed  the  subject  of  a  recent  inquest. 
Evidence  showed  that  Mr.  MacLeod  had  complained  of 
a  painful  thumb  and  that  he  was  taken  to  hospital,' 
where,  after  an  amputation  had  been  performed,  he 
temporarily  grew  better  but  eventually  died.  Death  was 
certified  as  being  due  to  septicaemia,  and  a  verdict  was 
returned  correspondingly. 

Fires. — The  following  are  among  the  outbreaks  of  fire 
recorded  since  our  last  report  :■ — There  was  an  outbreak 
on  May  15  at  the  premises  of  Squire  &  Sons,  Ltd., 
chemists,  Oxford  Street,  London,  W.l,  .  attributed  to  a 
light  being  thrown  down.  The  shop  front  was  slightly 
damaged. — Owing  to  a  defective  electric  circuit,  a  slight 
outbreak  of  fire  occurred  on  May  16  at  the  Marble  Arch 
Pharmacy,  Ltd.,  24  Edgware  Road,  London,  W.  The 
damage  was  not  of  an  extensive  nature.

Mr.  D.  G.  Hughes,  chemist  and  druggist,  recently 
addressed  the  Elgin  Rotary  Club  on  "  Pharmacy." 

Millport's  new  mineral  well,  the  medicinal  value  of 
which  has  already  been  proved  by  analysis,  was  formally 
opened  by  Lady  Inverclyde  on  May  14. 

Mineral  wells  have  been  discovered  at  Fourpenny,  near 
Dornoch,  and  if  the  analysis  which  is  being  made  proves 
satisfactory  a  scheme  for  development  is  to  be  put 
forward.    Wells  have  also  been  found  at  Fairlie. 

Fifeshire 

Application  to  the  Fife  County  Council  for  a  licence 
for   the   sale   of   poisonous   substances   for  agricultural 

Eurposes  has  been  made  by  Mr.  J.  G.  Miller,  Lathones, 
largoward. 

The  premises  of  Mr.  Charles  Stewart,  chemist  and 
druggist.  High  Street,  Kirkcaldy,  were  recently  broken 
into_  by  a  man  who  was  fortunately  frightened  by  a 
passing  pedestrian  before  he  had  had  time  to  take 
any  goods  or  money.

Mr.  J.  A.  Doyle,  M.P.S.I.,  has  opened  a  pharmacy  at 
Henry  Street,  Kilrush. 

Owing  to  the  alteration  in  the  date  of  the  Chemists' 
Exhibition  in  London,  the  Golf  Competition  between 
Northern  Ireland  and  the  Irish  Free  State  for  the  B.D.H. 
Oup,  arranged  for  June  19,  has  been  altered  to  June  12. 

Tyrone  County  Council  recently  considered  an  appli- 
cation from  an  Omagh  firm  for  a  licence  for  the  sale 
of  weed-killer  under  the  Poisons  and'  Pharmacy  Act. 
A  letter  was  read  from  the  Pharmaceutical  Society 
objecting  to  the  granting  of  the  licence  on  the  ground 
that  there  were  plenty  of  pharmaceutical  chemists  in  ' 
Omagh.    By  a  majority  the  application  was  granted. 

Mr.  John  A.  Woodside,  Aidnabreen,  Gargorm  Road, 
Ballymena,  has  been  appointed  to  (he  Commission  of  the 
Peace  for  co.  Antrim.  Mr.  Woodside  is  a  well-known 
business  man,  being  principal  of  the  firm  of  chemists 
which  bears  his  name.  He  is  chairman  of  the  Ballymena 
Musical  Festival  Association  and  a  member  of  the  Execu- 
tive of  the  County  Antrim  Agricultural  Association. 

The  McMuUan  Challenge  Cup,  having  been  won  out- 
right last  year,  .Thomas  McMullan  &  Co.,  Ltd., 
Belfast,  have  generously  presented  a  new  cup  for  the 
annual  competition,  which  will  this  year,  by  kind  per- 
mission of  the  Council  of  Royal  Portrush  Golf  Club,  be 
held  on  the  Links,  at  Portrush,  on  June  5.  The  com- 
petition is  confined  to  the  drug  trade  in  Ulster. 

As  the  result  of  the  appointment  of  a  joint  committee 
of  various  traders,  a  strong  agitation  is  now  being  organ- 
ised with  the  Free  State  against  the  widespread  nse 
of  slot  machines  for  the  sale  of  goods,  and  the  chambers 
of  commerce  and  oilier  commercial  bodies  are  joining  in 
the  demand  for  such  a  tax  on  the  installation  as  wiU  ' 
make  'the  work  of  these  machines  unprofitable.  At  the 
meeting  of  the  Waterford  Chamber  of  Commerce,  jSIt. 
Breen,  in  proposing  such  a  motion,  said  almost  anjtliing 
could  be  obtained  out  oi  these  niacliines,  and  they  would 
probably  grow  into  selling  goods  such  as  chemists 
supplied. 

Belfast 

At  a  meeting  of  the  medical  practitioners  of  Northern 
Ireland,  held  at  the  Medical  Institute,  Belfast,  on  May  17, 
it  was  unanimously  decided  that  the  time  was  ripe  for 
the  extension  of  national  health  insurance  medical  benefits  ■ 
to  Northern  Ireland,  in  the  interests  of  the  health  and 
\vell-!being  of  the  community.  With  this  in  Anew,  the 
meeting  was  of  opinion  that  each  candidate  for  Parlia- 
mentary honours  should  be  asked  to  say  whether  he  was 
in  favour  of  this  or  not.  The  meeting  was  adjourned  to 
receive  the  replies  of  the  various  candidates.  Tliis  matter 
is  of  great  interest  to  pharmacists,  who  are  watching 
developments  closely. 

The  question  of  having  a  window-dressing  competition 
for  chemists  was  rai.sed  at  a  meeting  of  the  General  Com- 
mittee in  connection  with  the  Belfast  Einpire  Week,  held 
in  the  City  Hall,  on  May  17.  In  presenting  the  report 
of  the  subcommittee,  Mr.  J.  Finlay  said  two  cups,  valued 
£100  and  £25  respectively,  were  again  being  offered  by 
the  Empire  Marketing  Board,  which  was  also  giving  £100 
for  street  decorations,  and  £50  for  the  usual  window- 
dressing  competition.  The  subcommittee  suggested  that 
they  should  proceed  on  the  same  lines  as  last  year.  Mr. 
Gamible  suggested  that  it  should  be  enlarged  so  as  to 
include  chemists,  and  increase  the  interest  in  the  com- 
petition. The  chairman  said  they  could  send  a  recom- 
mendation to  the  subcommittee  to  have  chemists  included. 
Mr.  Gamble  said  the  question  had  been  put  to  him  by 
several  chemists,  who  were  of  the  opinion  that  they 
should  be  included.  The  chairman  said  the  subcommittee 
could  consider  the  chemists  in  the  first  instance,  and  the 
secretary  could  approach  their  organisation  and  see  if  it 
would  give  its  support.  The  matter  was  then  referred 
to  the  subcommittee  for  consideration,  the  secretary  point- 
ing out  that  it  was  rather  late  to  have  the  suggested 
competition  tliis  year.  The  report  was  adopted,  and  the 
date  of  the  usual  window-dressing  competition  was  fixed 
for  the  week  commencing  May  27,

Settling  in  Business 

By  Fifty  Odd. 

The  ivriter  of  these  notes  has  seen  service  in  practicalljf 
every  section  of  the  chemist's  calling,  including  suc- 
cessful proprietorship.  He  wa^,  during  a  considerable 
period,  searching  for  a  particular  kind  of  business  to 
suit  a  special  set  of  circumstances :  he  was  thus  able  to 
inspect  a  large  number  of  sho2)s  and  to  make  compari- 
sons between  widely  differing  sets  of  figures. 

1 — Owner  or  Manager 

There  comes  a  time  in  the  e.xperience  of  many  chemists' 
assistants  wlien  they  begin  to  feel  that  they  would  like 
tO'  have  done  with  the  life  of  "servitude"  and  own  a 
business  of  their  own.  They  have  passed  through  the 
various  stages  of  apprenticeship,  assistant-ship  and 
managership,  and  some  time  or  another  they  feel  an  urge 
toward  proprietorship  and  a  life  untrammelled  by  the 
dcminainoe  of  some  other  pei'son. 

This  desire  is  all  very  well  in  its  way,  but  there  ar'> 
niany  practical  considerations  to  be  taken  into- account. 
Most  proprietors  to-day  would  probably  say  that  any 
young  manager  who  occupies  a  congenial  position  and  is 
in  receipt  of  a  salary  -at  any  figare  near  £7  a  week  would 
be  well  advi-sed  to  stay  where  be  is  rather  than  to  launch 
out  on,  bis  own  account.  The  chances  are  that  as  -a  pro- 
prietor lie  will  woik  longer  hours,  bear  much  more  respon- 
sibility, -c,,nd  perhaps  in  the  end  have  very  little  more  casb 
to  put  in  his  pocket  tlian  he  has  -now 

Th-ere  are,  however,  two  fairly  good  reasons  which  may 
be  put  forward  for  starting  "on  one's  own."  The  first 
is  sufficient  money.  Any  assistant  who  -has  money  enough 
to  buy  a  really  good  business  -and  can  afford  adequate 
assistance  to  carry  it  on  comfortably,  will  probably  settle 
as  a  proprietor  when  an  ojoportunity  presents  itself.  The 
second  good  reason  for  commencing  in  business  is  this  : 
if  a  pharmacist  has  unbounded  enthusiasm  and  a  real 
commercial  sense,  coupled  with  the  conviction  that  -he 
must  go  forward  and  put  his  ideas  into  practice  in  .i 
business  of  his  own,  the  pi-obability  is  that  he  had  bettev 
do  lit.  Let  no  man,  however,  go  into  business  because  he 
thinks  he  will  have  a  good  time.  The  chemist  who  runs 
his  own  business  may  enjoy  all  -the  benefits  whicn  are  to 
be  gained  from  the  exercise  of  his  ingenuity  and  initia- 
tive, but  he  must  also  be  prepared  to  withstand  all  the 
hard  knocks  which  are  bound  t-o  come  to  every  man  fight- 
ing for  a  livelihood  and  attempting  to  cajole  the  public 
into  producing-  the  wherewitllial  to  en-able  him  to  live. 

The  beginner  wlio  -has  screwed  himself  up  to  the  point 
of  breaking  with  his  managersliip  days  and  has  decided 
to  sel-ect  a  pitch  of  -his  own  is  faced  with  several  diffi- 
culties; but  there  is  one  which  strikes  -him.  almost  as  soon 
as  he  'has  begun  to  make  a  few  inquiries.  He  receiver 
from  agents  and  gathers  from  advertisements  figures  and 
facts  relating  to  different  businesses,  and  he  finds  on 
comparing  these  that  the  same  jDurchase  price  may  be 
asked  for  businesses  i  of  widely  varying  character  and 
showing  figures  for  net  profit  which  differ  considerably. 

On  the  other  hand,  he  may  find  that  busine.sses  which 
appear  to  show  the  same  net  profit  are  priced  at  very 
different  figures.  Tlie  price  asked  for  some  shops  appears 
to  be  merely  value  of  stock  and  fixtures  ;  in  other  cases 
the  cost  of  stock  appears  somewhat  insignificant  beside  a 
figure  whicli  is  included  for  something  called  goodwill. 
There  are  several  basic  factors  which  govern  the  price; 
stated  briefly,  these  factors  have  to  do  with : — 

(1)  The  premises — tiheir  position,  condition  and  the  term.s 
of  tenancy; 

(2)  The  business — its  class  or  dharaoter,  and  tlie  manner  of 
conducting  it ; 

(3)  The  present  proprietor — his  reason  for  disposal  and  the 
length  of  his  ownership. 

It  is  proposed  to  consider  each  of  these  points  in  turn 
and  some  other  questions  which .  confront  the  young 
chemist  adventurer.  It  should  not  be  overlooked,  how- 
ever, that  at  times  extraordinary  circumstances  arise  in 
particular  cases,  and  if  the  aspirant  to  proprietorsnip  with 
limited  capital  has  the  patience  to  bide  his  time,  mean- 
while keeping  a  careful  watch  on  the  advertisements  in 
the  O.  cfc  D.  Supplement  and  keeping  in  clos«  touch  with 
agents  and  travellers,  he  may  be  able  to  take  advantage 
of  these  special  circumstances  and  secure  a  real  bargain.

Legal  Reports 

Summonses  Dismissed  At  Belfast  Licensing  Court,  on 

May  17,  Mr.  Robert  W.  Laird,  Ph.C,  Gros\enor  Road, 
•was  summoned  on  a  charge  of  having,  on  April  26,  sold 
methylated  spirits  to  Margaret  Kennedy,  a  person  un- 
known to  the  seller,  and  also  for  failing  to  make  an  entry 
in  a  book  kept  for  the  purpose.  Mr.  Frederick  E.  Strong, 
an  assistant  to  Mr.  Laird,  was  summoned  ior,  as  alleged, 
aiding  and  abetting.  Constalale  McKnight  stated  that  on 
April  27  ihe  called  at  Mr.  Laird's  shop,  where  he  saw 
Mr.  Strong.  Witness  asked  him  if  he  had  sold  methy- 
lated spirits  to  a  woman  on  the  26th,  and  he  replied  that 
he  had  only  made  one  sale  of  methylated  spirits  on  that 
date.  Witness  examined  the  register  and  only  saw  one 
entry  for  the  26th.  Margaret  Kennedy,  examined,'"  said 
she  bought  methylated  spirits  in  Mr.  I;aird's  shop,  but 
she  did  not  know  the  name  of  the  man  who  sold  it  to 
her.  Another  woman  was  examined,  and  said  she  .bought 
some  methylated  spirits  in  Mr.  Laird's  shop  on  April  26. 
Mr.  Ohambers,  for  the  defence,  said  that  Kennedy  had 
told  them  four  different  stories.  Mr.  Strong  ^aid  he 
never  saw  Kennedy  in  his  life  before.  Holding  that  the 
case  was  not  proved,  the  Court  dismissed  all  the 
summonses. 

Plate  Powder  Litigation. — ^In  the  Chancery  ODivision 
of  the  High  Court,  London,  on  May  16,  Mr. .  Justice 
Romer  heard  a  motion  by  J.  Goddard  &  Sons,  Leicester, 
to  restrain  Mr.  F.  Seares  and  Mr.  W.  Lindley-Jones, 
executors  of  the  late  Miss  Rosina  Seares  Goddard,  from 
communicating  letters  intended  for  the  __.plaintiffs  to 
Kaynex  Manufacturing,  Ltd.,  and  to  restrain  the  com- 
pany from  using  the  names  and  addresses  of  customers 
so  obtained  and  from  representing  that  their  plate  powder 
was  identical  with  that  of  the  plaintiffs  or  of  the 
late  Miss  Goddard,  whose  business  they  had  purchased. 
Mr,  Archer,  K.C.,  for  the  plaintiffs,  said  that  their 
plate  powder  had  been  held  by  the  Courts  to  be  gener- 
ally known  as  Goddard's  Plate  Powder.  The  late  Miss 
Goddard  also  sold  a  plate  powder  under  the  name  of 
Goddard,  with  the  result  that  there  had  been  continu- 
ous litigation,  and  eventually,  in  order  to  put  an  end  to 
that  business  altogether,  the  plaintiff.s  purchased  it — 
lock,  stock  and  barrel,  -with  the  name — from  Miss 
Goddard's  executors  for  £6,010.  It  now  appeared  that 
people  who  used  to  deal  v/ith  Miss  Goddard  had  sent 
letters  addressed  to  R.  S.  Goddard,  which  instead  nf 
being  handed  to  the  plaintiffs  were  given  to  the 
defendant  company,  who,  in  reply  to  the  customers, 
wrote  :  "  Miss  Goddard's  business  has  gone,  but  we  are 
still  making  the  same  thing  by  the  same  recipe."  The 
powder  had  formerly  been  manufactured  by  the  com- 
pany for  Miss  Goddard.  This,  said  counsel,  was  solicit- 
ing by  a  dishonest  trick  customers  the  plaintiffs  had 
bought,  and  that  was  what  they  wanted  to  stop.  Mr. 
Lindley-Jones  said  he  knew  nothing  about  these  letters, 
and  he  was  very  angry  at  what  had  happened.  The 
plaintiffs  fully  accepted  that  statement  and  agreed  to 
Mr.  Lindley-Jones  being  dismissed  from  the  case  .and 
to  paying  his  costs  without  prejudice  as  to  whether 
the  other  defendants  should  not  ultimately  bear  them. 
As  to  Mr.  Seares  he  had  entered  an  appearance  to  the 
action,  but  was  not  represented  that  day.  Mr. 
Roxburgh,  for  the  company,  said  they  sold  their 
powder  under  the  name  "  Mayfair,"  and  urged  that 
they  were  entitled  to  state  that  it  was  identical  with' 
the  powder  tKey  used  to  make  for  Miss  Goddard.  His 
lordship  said  it  was  clear  that  Mr.  Lindley-Jones  was 
rtot  concerned  in  any  way  with  these  improper  matters. 
With"  regard  to  l\Ir.  Seares  and  the  company  he  was 
satisfied  that  they  had  been  utilising  these  letters,  which, 
to  their  knowledge,  were  not  intended  for  them,  but 
for  the  plaintiffs,  for  the  purpose  of  diverting  to  the 
company,  of  which  Mr.  Seares  was  a  large  shareholder, 
as  much  of  the  goodwill  as  they  could  of  the  business 
bought  by  the  plaintiffs.  He  granted  an  injunction 
restraining  the  use  by  Mr.  Seares  and  the  company  of 
letters  similar  to  those  which  had  been  improperly  used. 
The  costs  would  be  costs  in  the  action.

Private  Arrangements 

Mrs.  Mary  Street,  trading  as  J.  &  M.  Street.  Taylor's. 
Cash  Pharmacy,  32  Manor  Street,  Bolton.  Lanes.  A 
meeting  of  the  creditors  was  held  recently  at  Blackburn, 
when  it  was  reported  that  the  liabilities  were  approxi- 
mately £780,  of  which  £270  was  due  to  the  trade  and 
£510  to  cash  creditors.  The  assets  consisted  of  .stock 
£310  13s.  and  fixtures,  etc.,  £185  7s.  The 
business  was  purchased  in  October  1924  by  the  late 
Mr.  James  Street,  and  the  sum  of  £250  was  paid  for 
the  stock  and  fixtures.  Mrs.  Street  took  no  part  in  the 
business  until  the  death  of  her  husband  towards  the 
close  of  last  year.  The  business  had  been  run  purely 
as  a  drug  store.  Mrs.  Street's  mother  was  a  cash  creditor 
for  £400  in  respect  of  monies  advanced  in  1913  and  on 
which  interest  had  been  paid.  No  details  of  the  trading 
were  available,  but  it  was  stated  that  the  turnover  had 
been  about  £14  a  week.  The  premises  were  held  on  a 
yearly  tenancy  at  £40  per  annum.  Efforts  had  been 
made  to  sell  the  business,  but  no  definite  offer  had  been 
received.  An  offer  was  made  of  a  composition  of 
5s.  in  the  £,  and  after  some  discussion  it  was  decided 
that  unless  5s.  8d.  in  the  £,  payable  in  cash,  was  forth- 
coming, the  matter  should  be  dealt  with  under  a  deed 
of  assignment  with  Mr.  Parkin  S.  Booth  as  trustee.

Jetter  from  Mr.  Warwick  :  "  Please  convey  to  the  pre- 
sident and  members  of  your  Council  my  deepest  gratitude

New  Pharmacy  Laws  in  South,  Africa 

The  registrar  read  a  letter  from  the  registrar  and 
secretary  of  the  South  African  Pharmacy  Board,  who 
■wrote  :  "  I  beg  to  advise  you  that  I  have  forwarded  to 
you,  under  separate  cover,  copy  of  the  Medical,  Dental 
and  Pharmacy  Act,  1928,  and  also  of  this  Board's  rules 
for  the  examination  of  chemists  and  druggists.  This 
Board  commenced  to  function  on  January  1  last  in 
terms  of  the  Act  and  took  the  place  of  the  four  existing 
Boards  for  the  Cape  Province,  Natal,  Orange  Free  State 
end  Transvaal.  These  bodies  necognised  the  qualification 
of  Pharmaceutical  Chemist  of  your  Society,  a.n,d  any 
registrations  effected  priod  to  January  1  last  will 
hold  good.  Since  that  date,  however,  the  recognition  has 
ceased,  and  this  Board  has  no  power,  under  Section  22  of 
the  Act,  to  ^grant  recognition  unless  the  requirements  of 
that  Section  are  fully  complied  vrith.  It  would,  there- 
fore, I  think,  be  as  well  if  you  were  to  advise  chemists 
holding  your  qualification  and  desirous  of  coming  to  this 
country  of  the  position." 

The  President  requested  the  registrar  to  read 
Section  22  of  the  Act,  which  Miss  Grene  did  as  follows  : 
"  The  Governor-General  may  from  time  to  time,  after 
considering  any  recommendation  of  the  Council  or  Board, 
prescribe  by  regulation  the  several  degrees,  diplomas  and 
certificates  granted  after  examination  by  a  university, 
medical  school  or  other  examining  authority  which,  when 
held  singly  or  conjointly  with  any  other  degree,  diploma 
or  certificate,  entitle  the  holders  thereof  to  registration 
under  this  Act  as  medical  practitioners,  dentists  or 
chemists  and  druggists ;  provided  that,  save  as  is  pro- 
vided in  the  next  succeeding  section,  or  in  Section  28,  no 
degree,  diploma  or  certificate  of  a  university,  medical 
school  or  other  examining  authority  outside  the  Union 
shall  be  prescribed  under  this  section  jr  accepted  as  a 
qualification  for  registration  of  the  holder  as  a  medical 
practitioner  or  dentist,  or  chemist  and  druggist  (as  the 
case  may  be),  unless  (a)  such  degree,  diploma  or  certifi- 
cate entitles  the  holder  to  practise  as  a  medical  practi- 
tioner or  dentist  or  chemist  and  druggist  (as  the  case  may 
be)  in  the  country  or  state  in  whicli  such  university, 
school  or  examining  authority  is  situate;  and  {b)  by  the 
laws  of  that  country  or  state  persons  holding  degrees  or 
qualifications  granted  after  examination  in  the  Union  and 
entitling  them  to  practise  as  medical  practitioners, 
dentists  or  chemists  and  druggists  (as  the  case  may  be) 
therein  are  admitted  without  further  examination  to  prac- 
tise in  that  country  or  state  ;  and  (c)  the  Council  or  board 
is  satisfied  that  possession  of  such  degree,  diploma  or 
certificate  indicates  a  standard  of  professional  education 
not  lower  than  that  prescribed  by  the  council  or  board 
for  medical  practitioners,  dentists  or  chemists  and  drug- 
gists (as  the  case  may  be)  within  the  Union." 

The  registrar  was  directed  to  communicate  with  the 
registrar  and  secretary  of  the  South  African  Pharmacy 


Board  with  a  view  to  obtaining  further  information  on 
the  subject.

country— at  the  moment  only  one  British  firm  was  manu- 
facturing margarine  equal  in  vitamin  content  to  summer 
■butter.  In  Germany  better  use  was  being  made  of  the 
discovery,  and  the  Germans  were,  in  fact,  buying  from 
British  firms  large  quantities  of  irradiated  ergosterol — a 
tribute  to  the  enterprise  and  skill  of  British  manufac- 
turers. In  the  discussion  which  followed  the  lecture, 
many  points  of  interest,  including  the  Steenbock  patent 
under  the  irradiated  ergosterol  is  manufactured  in  thi,\ 
country,  were  raised  and  dealt  with  by  Mr.  Bennett,  to 
whom  a  hearty  vote  of  thanks  was  accorded. 

Dundee. — The  general  meeting  of  the  Dundee  and  East 
and  Central  Scottish  Branch  of  the  Societj^  was  held  on 
May  9.  F.  Bennett  (.Arbroath)  presided.    Mr.  J. 

Rutherford  •  Hill  was  present.  Officers  were  elected  as 
follows  : — Chairman,  Mr.  F.  Bennett  (Arbroath)  ;  Secre-

son, Mr.  J.  B.  Coupar,  Mr.  D.  Robertson  and  Dr.  McColl 
(Dundee). — Mr.  Rutherford  Hill  presented  the  Branch 
prizes  to  JNIiss  Niven  and  Mr.  W.  Edward,  and  congratu- 
lated the  local  school  of  pharmacy  on  its  success  in  the 
examinations. 

Leicester. — The  annual  meeting  of  the  Leicester  and 
Leicestershire  Branch  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  took 
place  on  May  1.  Mr.  F.  H.  Clark  presided. 
The  secretary  presented  his  report.  The  loss  by 
death  of  one  member  (Mr.  Thompson,  head  of  the 
Pharmacy  Department,  Technical  College)  was  men- 
tioned, and  an  increase  of  twenty-seven  brought  the 
total  number  of  members  to  166.  Thanks  were  due  to 
the  principal  of  the  Technical  College  (Mr.  Kershaw) 
for  the  use  of  lecture-rooms.  The  treasurer's  report  was 
good,  and  showed  a  balance  in  hand.  Thanks  were  ten- 
dered to  the  ladies'  social  committee  for  £9  towards 
the  Technical  College  equipment.  The  Benevolent  Fund 
box  installed  during  the  year  yielded  £1  lis.  2d.,  plus 
£17  obtained  by  tlJe  ladies'  committee  from  a  whist 
drive.  Mr.  A.  E.  Young,  as  chairman  of  the  advisory 
committee  to  the  Technical  College,  gave  in  his  report 
particulars  of  the  improvements  in  the  Pharmacy  Section. 
The  cost  of  these  would  be  about  £500,  and  the  local 
branch  had  promised  £100.  Mention  was  also  made  of 
the  Pharmaceutical  Society's  new  regulations.  Mr.  Fry 
endorsed  Mr.  Young's  remarks,  and  urged  the  need  of 
broadening   one's  outlook   beyond   pharmacy.      It  was 


agreed  that  a  summer  outing  be  held.  New  officers 
appointed  were  : — Chairman,  Mr.  W.  Westhead ;  Vice- 
Chairman,  Mr.  H.  A.  Martin;  Secretary  and  Treasurer, 
Mr.  R.  I.  Dickson;  Assistant  Secretary,  Mr.  C.  W.  Leake; 
Council,  Miss  Bonsor,  Miss  Perkins,  Messrs.  Blockley, 
Brelsford,  Clark,  Ward,  A.  E.  Young,  Lovell  (Wigston), 
Eatimer  (Loughborough),  and  Stiles  (Market  Har- 
borough) ;  Auditors,  Messrs.  Rimmington  and  Palmer.  The 
new  chairman  proposed  a  vote  of  thanks  to  the  retiring 
officers,  to  which  Mr.  Clark  responded. 


Associations'  Meetings 

Aberdeen. — The  Aberdeen  Pharnuiceutical  Association 
held  a  field  night  on  May  17,  the  occasion  being  the 
annual  prize-giving  to  the  evening  class  students.  Oppor- 
tunity was  taken  of  the  visit  of  Mr.  E.  S.  Peck  and  Mr. 
Linstead,  who  were  to  inspeict  the  school  of  pharmacy, 
to  get  them  to  address  the  students.  There  was  a  large 
attendance  of  members  and_students.  Mr.  A.  P.  Wallace, 
president  of  the  Association,-  gave  the  students  a  hearty 
welcome  and  e.xpressed  the  pleasure  at  having  two  dis- 
tinguished members  of  the  Society  present.  Dr.  Bryant, 
head  of  the  School  of  Pharmacy,  in  giving  a  criticism 
of  the  work  done  in  the  examination,  said  the  papers 
were  better  than  in  previous  years,  but  too  much  reliance 
was  still  being  placed  on  memory  rather  than  endeavour- 
ing to  discover  by  reason  and  observation  the  under- 
lying principles  and  facts.  Mr.  Peck  presented  the 
prizes.  In  speaking  of  apprenticeship  he  emphasised 
the  value  of  study  in  early  training.  Tie  congratulated 
Aberdeen  pharmacists  on  having  such  a  school  of  phar- 
macy as  the  present  up-to-date  establishment  at  Gordon's 
Colleges,  and  the  excellent  arrangements  made  by  the 
Governors.  Mr.  Linstead  congratulated  the  students  on 
their  tenacity  in  the  strain  of  four  years'  evening  class 
work.  He  advised  all  to  claim  and  take  a  direct  interest 
in  the  work  of  their  societies  and  to  serve  and  stand  up 
for  their  own  local  associations.  Mr.  Douglas  thanked  the 
Association  for  the  very  practical  interest  they  had 
taken  in  their  evening  class  work.  Mr.  Farquhar  pro- 
posed a  vote  of  thanks  to  Mr.  Peck  and  Mr.  Linstead. 
Mr.  Linstead  proposed  a  vote  of  thanks  to  Mr.  Wallace 
for  the  able  manner  in  which  he  carried  through  his 
duties.  The  vice-president  (Mr.  M.  K.  Watt),  as  con- 
vener of  the  Education  Committee,  announced  the  prize- 
winners as  undernoted  : — Chemistry :  Stage  1,  (1)  A.  D.

Pharmaceutical  Society 

of  Northern  Ireland 
Council  Meeting 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  Council  of  the  Pharma- 
ceutical Society  of  Northern  Ireland  was  held  on 
May  17  in  the  Scottish  Provident  Buildings.  Belfast, 
the  president  (Mr.  W.  J.  Hardy)  in  the  chair.  There 
were  present  also  Messrs.  Fred  Storey  (vice-president), 
A.  C.  McBride,  Horatio  Todd,  S.  S.  Badger,  J.  E. 
Connor,  T.  W.  McMullan,  James  Dundee,  H.  McRoberts, 
S.  Gibson,  J.  F.  Grimes,  W.  E.  Wilson,  W.  Martin, 
Professor  Small  and"  Dr.  Acheson.  Mr.  D.  L.  Kirk- 
patrick  (secretary)  was  in  attendance.  Apologies  for 
absence  were  received  from  Messrs.  W.  S.  Taylor,  H. 
Lancashire,  E.  I.  Edwards,  and  John  Maxwell. 

Pharmacy  Act,  1929 

The  President  said  he  had  no  doubt  they  were  all 
aware  that  the  one-clause  Bill  of  the  Pharmaceutical 
Society  of  Great  Britain  asking  for  the  necessary  powers 
to  accept  their  certificates- was  now  on  the  British  statute- 
book  as  the  Pharmacy  Act,  1929.  The  Bill  was  promoted 
by  the  British  Society  solely  in  their  interest,  with 
the  object  of  givfng  effect  to  the  reciprocity  agree- 
ment arrived  at  between  their  Society  and  the  Society 
of  Great  Britain  in  November  last,  and,  although 
obviously  fair  and  non-contentious,  it  was  nol  got 
through  without  diflficulty.  That  it  did  go  through  in 
the  brief  time  at  the  disposal  of  the  House  of  Commons 
was  very  gratifying  to  all  concerned ;  and  when  the 
required  by-law  to  complete  it  had  passed  the  usual 
Council  stages,  and  the  Privy  Council's  assent  hf.d  been 
given,  the  reciprocal  arrangement  which  had  to  be  sus- 
pended would  come  into  force — probably  in  July.  They 
would  agree  they  as  a  Society  were  deeply  indebted 
to  the  British  Society  for  their  prompt  and  sympathetic 
action  in  that  matter,  and  on  behalf  of  their  Society 
he  had  conveyed  an  expression  of  their  appreciation  and 
thanks  to  them  through  their  president,  Mr.  Skinner. 
Throughout,  their  Committee  co-operated  with  Mr. 
Skinner  and  Mr.  Linstead,  and  several  visits  to  London 
were  indispensable.  Valuable  assistance  was  given  in 
the  Commons  by  Mr.  Bennett,  member  for  Battersea,  and 
Mr.  D.  D.  Reid  and  Major  Ronald  Ross,  Northern 
Ireland  members.  He  should  also  like  to  acknowledge 
the  splendid  and  effective  help  given  by  their  Home 
Secretary,  Sir  Dawson  Bates.  He  was  indefatigable  in 
his  efforts  to  have  the  Bill  accepted  and  introduced 
before  Parliament  dissolved,  and  personally  interviewed 
the  Imperial  Honie  Secretary,  Sir  William  Joynson- 
Hicks,  and  the  Permanent  Under-Secretary,  Sir  John 
Anderson,  with  that  object. 

Mr.  Todd  said  everything  seemed  to  have  gone  on  well 
with  regard  to  reciprocity.  At  one  time  things  looked 
blue,  but  when  the  president  and  secretary  went  to 
London  they  were  able  to  do  a  great  deal  of  useful 
work.  They  could  not  have  done  more,  and  he  thought 
Sir  Dawson  Bates  should  be  thanked  for  his  assistance. 

jMr.  Storey  supported  the  remarks  of  Mr.  Todd. 
They  should  certainly  thank  the  Northern  Government 
for  its  part  in  the  matter.  The  Government  acted  in  a 
very  businesslike  way  all  through.  The  Prime  Minister 
and  Sir  Dawson  Bates  took  a  very  active  part  in  the 
matter,  and  a  letter  of  thanks  should  be  sent  to  them. 
Tlie  president  deserved  a  great  deal  of  credit  for  his 
work  in  the  matter.  The  opposition  at  one  time  looked 
serious,  and  but  for  the  Northern  Government  they  would 
never  have  got  the  Bill  through. 

Mr.  T.  A.  McMuLLAist  congratulated  the  president  on 
what  Jiad  been  accomplished.  Sir  Dawson  Bates  should 
be  publicly  thanked  for  his  assistance. 

The  President  said  the  Bill,  of  course,  was  that  of 
the  Society  in  Great  Britain,  but  the  Northern  Society 
had  co-operated  with  that  Society. 

It  was  unanimously  agreed  that  a  letter  of  thanks  be 
sent  to  Sir  Dawson  Bates.  i 

British  Pharmacetttical  Conference 
On  the  motion  of  Mr.  Todd,  seconded  by  Mr.  Dundee, 
the  president,  vice-president,  past-president  and  secre- 


tary were  appointed  delegates  to  the  British  Pharma- 
ceutical Conference  in  Dublin. 

The  President  said  he  hoped  there  would  be  a  good 
representation  of  other  members  from  the  Society  at 
the  Conference. 

Other  Business 

Mr.  David  J.  Pinkerton,  the  Medical  Hall,  Aughna- 
cloy,  was  elected  a  nominated  member  of  the  Society. 

The  Council  again  considered  the  question  of  pro- 
viding a  building  as  headquarters  for  the  Society,  and  a 
committee  was  appointed  to  go  into  the  whole  question 
and  report. 


Imperial  Institute  Report 

In  the  recently  issued  annual  report  of  the  Imperial 
Institute  for  1928  mention  is  made  of  several  investiga- 
tions of  interest  to  the  drug  trade.    These  include  : — 

StROPHANTHUS  from  T.4NGANYIKA 

A  sample  of  the  seed  of  Strophanthus  Einlni  was 
investigated  in  order  to  ascertain  whether  it  could  be 
utilised  as  a  source  of  strophanthin.  Chemical  examina- 
tion showed  that  the  seeds  contained  a  fair  quantity 
of  strophanthin,  and  this  was  confirmed  by  pharmaco- 
logical trials  kindly  undertaken  by  Dr.  J.  H.  Burn  at 
the  Pharmacological  Laboratory  of  the  Pharmaceutical 
Society.  The  results  indicated  that  the  seeds  should 
prove  as  satisfactory  for  medicinal  use  as  those  of 
Stroplianthus  Kombc,  which  is  at  present  the  only  species 
recognised  in  the  British  Pharmacopoeia.  Further^  quan- 
tities of  the  seed  have  been  asked  for  with  a  view  to 
carrying  out  a  fuller  investigation. 

Hydnocarpus  Seeds 

As  a  result  of  the  interest  now  being  taken  in  the 
use  of  hydnocarpus  oils  for  tlie  treatment  of  leprosy, 
samples  of  the  seed  of  Hydnocarpus  Wooclii  were  received 
from  North  Borneo  for  investigation.  A  detailed  chemi- 
cal examination  of  the  oil  showed  that  it  contains  the 
glyoerides  of  both  hydnocarpic  and  chaulmoogric  acids. 
In  this  respect  the  oil  agrees  with  that  from  the  seeds 
of  Hydnocatfus  Wightiana. 

Camphor  Leaves  from  St.  Lucia 
In  continuation  of  previous  investigations  of  camphor 
leaves  and  twigs  from  St.  Lucia,  twenty  additional 
samples  collected  from  different  trees  in  the  same  plot 
were  found  to  yield  1.45  to  3.1  per  cent,  of  total  dis- 
tillate (camphor  and  oil)  from  the  moisture-free  material. 
On  cooling  the  distillates  to  0°  C,  camphor  separated 
in  every  case,  the  yields  ranging  from  65.4  to  78.6  per 
cent,  on  the  distillates  or  1.1  to  2.4  per  cent,  on  the 
moisture-free  leaves  and  twigs.  The  results  are  of 
interest  in  showing  that  all  the  camphor  trees  in  St. 
Lucia  so  far  examined  have  yielded  camphor  by  dis- 
tilla,tion  of  the  leaves  and  twigs. 

Natural  Soda  from  TANCANYntA 
The  material  examined  was  obtained  from  Lake 
Rukwa,  in  the  Ufipa  district.  It  was  found  to  consist 
essentially  of  sodium  carbonate,  32.4  per  cent.  ;  sodium 
bicarbonate,  24.2  per  cent.  ;  sodium  sulphate,  11.1  per 
cent.  ;  sodium  chloride,  5.3  per  cent.  This  sample,  which 
was  less  pure  than  that  previously  examined  at  the 
Imperial  Institute,  yielded  on  calcination  about  70  per 
cent,  of  impure  soda  ash  slightly  sintered  and  iron 
stained.  The  ash  could  be  used  for  the  local  prepara- 
tion of  soap  and  in  the  manufacture  of  common  bottle- 
glass. 

Cardamoms  in  Montserrat 

In  connection  with  proposals  for  growing  cardamoms 
in  Montserrat,  a  memorandum  was  furnished  sum- 
marising the  more  important  recent  information  on  the 
cultivation  and  preparation  of  this  product.  Samples 
of  the  principal  grades  of  cardamoms  marketed  were 
obtained  from  a  London  firm  and  sent  to  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Agriculture,  with  information  regarding  cur- 
rent prices  and  market  conditions.

Observations  and  Reflections 

By  Xtayser  III 

Congratulations 

are  certainly  due  to  the  Council  of  the  Pharma- 
ceutical Society  on  being  accorded  such  a  decided  vote  of 
confidence  as  is  indicated  by  the  figures  you  publish 
{C.  &  D.,  May  18,  p.  606).  With  a  bigger  poll  than  usual, 
thp  seven  retiring  members  have  been  returned  with 
majorities  that  place  them  far  ahead  of  the  attackers  in 
the  contest  for  seats  at  the  Council  table,  and  there  can 
be  BO  question  for  the  present  that  the  Council  has  the 
supi>ort  of  the  great  majority  of  the  electorate.  It  is  tme 
that  fewer  thain  Jialf  of  those  who  received  voting  papers 
took  the  trouble  to  return  them  :  but  the  assumption  is 
probably  justified  that  persons  entitled  to  vote,  who  do 
not  vote  when  the  opportunity  presents  itself,  may  not 
unreasonably  be  irj/cluded  among  those  who  are  satisfied 
with  the  existing  state  of  affairs.  In  any  case,  we  are  now 
represented  on  the  Council  by  those  who  have  proved 
their  ability  to  meet  'difficult  positions,  and  they  will  pro- 
bably need  our  sympathy  as  well  as  support  in  the 
particularly  difficult  position  which  they  expect  to 
encounter  ere  long. 

What  Trouble 

has  been  involved  in  securing  power  to  make 
arrangements  for  pharmaceutical  reciprocity  between 
Gieat  Britain  and  Northern  Ireland!  Your  account  of 
the  steps  that  had  ito  be  taken  to  arrange  so  comparatively 
simple  a  matter  (C.  S  D.,  May  18,  p.  600)  is  most  illumi- 
nating, and  may  be  studied  with  profit  by  all  those  who 
are  ohsessed  with  the  idea  that  recourse  to  Parliament  is 
a  ready  means  of  removing  hinidrances  to  progress.  If  a 
one-clause  ]?ill  can  exoite  opposition  from  people  whom 
it  does  not  concern  in  the  least,  what  may  be  expected 
when  a  Bill  o'f  many  clauses  is  introduced,  and  some  of 
those  clauses  touch  interests  which  are  represented  in 
Parliament  ?  It  is  also  necessary  to  take  into  account  such 
antagonism  as  exists  between  "co-operative  societies  and 
the  P.A.T.A.  This  is  sufficiently  pronounced  to  make 
certain  Labour  representatives  oppose  anything  which  is 
believed  to  be  in  the  interests  of  chemists  and  druggists ; 
and  it  is  quite  on  the  cards  that  price  protection  may  one 
day  prove  to  be  a  rock  on  which  our  fortunes  can  be 
wrecked,  unless  negotiators  on  our  behalf  are  distin- 
guisihod  for  their  tact  and  diplomacy. 

Pharmacy  Week 

suggestions  for  a  general  display  in  October 
next  (C.  ,t  1).,  May  18,  p.  589)  are  useful  if  not  particu- 
larly original,  but  what  irony  can  be  read  into  them! 
The  i.dea  apparently  is  that  we  shall  all  with  one  accord 
proceed  to  enlighten  the  Biitish  public  on  the  subject  of 
our  qualifications  and  our  woik.  We  are  well  known  as 
cliemists  and  druggists,  but  now  mainly  as  purveyors  of 
other  people's  packed  goods.  As  a  remedy,  we"  are  to 
illustrate  the  functions  which  we  as  pharmacists  might 
be  expected  to  exercise,  by  displays  of  materia  medica, 
appliances,  etc.  But  in  some  instances  both  materia 
medica  and  appliances  will  be  almost  as  strange  to  those 
who  disphiy  them  as  to  the  public  which  is  to  be 
impressed,  and  it  is  not  at  all  clear  what  result  may  be 
expected  to  follow  Pharmacy  Week.  Is  there  not  some 
•risk  of  the  idea  being  created  t.liat  all  the  chemists'  shops 
have  disappeared,  and  chemists'  trade  finding  itself 
diverted  to  drugstores  conducted  by  unqualified  persons? 
To  guard  against  this,  it  may  be  suggested  that  each  of  us 
who  helps  to  celebrate  Pharmacy  Week  should  keep  the 
title  "  Chemist  and  Druggist  "  prominent  in  his  shop 
■window,  so  that  the  public  may  not  be  misled.  This 
precaution  should  not  be  required  in  the  case  of  those  of 
us  who  really  practise  pharmacy,  but  the  chemist  and 
druggist  who  is  only  a  pharmacist  in  name  might  be  well- 
advised  to  take  it. "  The  misguided  policy  of  endeavour- 
ing to  make  "  phai-macist  "  synonymous  with  "chemist 
and  druggist  "  and  of  regarding  every  chemist's  shop  as 
a  pharmacy  has  much  to  answer  for' and  is  much  to  be 
regretted. 


The  Services 

which  a  pharmacist  is  competent  to  render  in 
gaol  would  seem  to  be  appreciated  in  the  United  States, 
as  appears  from  a  paragraph  which  found  a  place  in 
one  of  our  newspapers  a  few  days  ago.  A  millionaire 
has  been  committed  for  a  j>eriod  of  incarceration  because 
of  an  alleged  contempt  of  court.  In  earlier  days  he 
studied  pharmacy,  and  now,  notwitlistanding  the  con- 
siderable lapse  of  time  since  he  manipulated  measures 
and  balances  (he  is  a  middle-aged  man),  the  prison 
authorities  have  requisitioned  his  services  and  have 
appointed  him  assistant  druggist  in  his  institution.  It 
may  be  that,  being  a  millionaire,  he  has  already  achieved 
his  ambitions.  If  not,  and  if  there  should  be  in  the 
prison  library  a  copy  of  "  The  Gentle  Grafter,"  and 
if,  by  some  other  stroke  of  good  luck,  the  said  library 
should  offer  him  Jenning's  "  Through  the  Shadows  with 
0.  Henry,"  he  may  find  another  temptation  to  step 
aside  from  the  beaten  track  of  ordinary  folk  and  con- 
tinue for  a  little  further  distance  to  tread  in  the  foot- 
steps of  William  Sydney  Porter.  It  was  in  the  Ohio 
Penitentiary,  where  he  was  imprisoned  for  some  defalca- 
tion of  which  he  himself  was  innocent,  that  O.  Henry 
(a  curious  nom  de  ^>Z?<7ne  selected,  probably  out  of  per- 
versity) began  to  write  the  short  stories  which  have 
made  his  name  familiar  to  readers  of  fiction  through- 
out the  English-speaking  world.  He  was  not  proud  of 
his  connection  with  drugs,  although  his  father  was  a 
country  doctor  and  he  himself  had  spent  five  years 
in  the  drug  store  of  his  uncle.  When  admitted  to  the 
penitentiary  the  official  interrogation  only  elicited  from 
him,  in  the  first  instance,  the  statement  that  he  was 
a  newspaper  reporter.  It  needed  a  further  inquiry 
before  he  confessed  :  "I  am  a  registered  chemist."  His 
behaviour  and  his  services  while  in  the  penitentiary  are 
recounted  in  Professor  Smith's  life  of  0.  Henry,  in 
the  words  of  the  two  physicians  at  the  prison  during 
his  detention 

For  a  More  Intimate  Account 

of  0.  Henry's  experiences  in  gaol 
and  the  conditions  under  which  he  succeeded  in  gaining 
an  established  footing  in  fictional  literature  it  is  neces- 
sary to  turn  to  the  pages  of  Jenning's  book,  written 
in  a  style  which  stamps  the  author  as  a  real  partici- 
pator in  the  milieu  of  0.  Henry.  Jenning  was  one 
of  the  crowd  bound  to  come  into  conflict  with  the 
"  marshals  "  and  "  sheriffs  "  who  were  part  of  the 
indispensable  paraphernalia  of  the  wild  country  to  which 
he  belonged.  Consequently,  he  found  his  way  to  the 
Ohio  Penitentiary  where  his  old  "  pal  "  and  friend  had, 
unknown  to  him,  jjieceded  him.  The  meeting  of  the 
two  men  is  described  by  Jenning  with  such  a  medicinal 
tang  that  it  is  worth  quoting— in  the  hope  that  df  there 
are  any  pharmacists  who  need  an  introduction  to  0 
Henry's  tales  it  may  serve  this  purpose  : — "  Every  Sun- 
day in  the  Ohio  Penitentiary  an  attendant  from  the 
hospital  visited  the  cells  dispensing  pills  and  quinine. 
The  allotment  was  always  given  to  the  prisoners  whether 
they  needed  it  or  not.  'The  attendant  was  standing 
at  my  door.  I  felt  his  glance,  but  I  did  not  meet 
it.  And  then  a  voice,  hushed  and  measured,  that  to 
me  seemed  like  sunlight  breaking  through  a  cloud, 
sounded  in  my  ear.  The  low  rich  tones  rippled  through 
the  black  prison:  curtain ;  the  waving  prairies  and  the 
soft  hills  of  the  Texas  ranch  ;  the  squat  bungalow  at 
Honduras ;  the  tropical  valley  of  Mexico  ;  the  magnificent 
scene  in  the  ballroom  were  before  me.  '  Colonel,  we 
meet  again.'  In  all  my  life  there  has  never  been  a 
tenser  moment  than  when  Bill  Porter  [0.  Henry]  spoke 
that  simple  greeting.  It  caught  me  like  a  stab  in  the 
heart.  I  felt  like  crying.  I  could  not  bear  to  look 
him  in  the  face.  I  did  not  want  to  see  Bill  Porter 
in  convict  stripes.  For  months  we  shared  the  same 
purse,  the  same  bread,  the  same  glass.  .  .  .  Not  a  word 
had  he  said  of  his  past.  And  here  it  was  torn  open 
for  me  to  see.  .  .  .  The  proudest  man  I  have  ever 
known  was  standing  outside  a  barred  door,  dispensing 
quinine  and  pills  to  jailbirds."  It  was  in  that  gaol 
that  the  "  prose  troubadour."  as  he  has  been  called, 
found  the  right  form  into  which  to  pour  the  music  of 
his  sympathetic  heart,  and  by  which  he  caught  the  ear 
of  a  world  all  too  cynically  inclined.

Representation  of  Chemists  in  Parliament 

Whether  we  shall  soon  arrive  at  a  condition  of  things  in 
■which  provision  is  made  for  the  i-epresentation  of  separat-e 
interests  in  Parliament  is  open  to  doubt.  Tlie  constita- 
tion  of  the  late  House  of  Commons  gives  little  indica- 
tion that  we  are  moving  in  the  direction  of  such  a  change. 
Piobably  the  innovation  would  have  .to  be  preceded  by  a 
system  of  much  more  highly  organised  occupations  than 
any  at  present  known  to  us.  But  however  this  may  be, 
th'j  feeling  that  there  is  something  which  requiresi  remedy- 
ing in  our  legislative  macliinery  grows  apace.  Audible 
murmurs  of  dissatisfaction  with  the  extent  to  which  we 
are  overgoverned  foroe  themselves  upon  the  public  from 
tmie  to  time,  so  that  it  is  possible  that  politicians  may 
soon  find  it  desirable  to  take  the  subject  into  considera- 
tion with  a  view  to  deciding  what,  if  anything,  ought  to 
be  done  to  allay  the  discontent.  What  the  outcome  of 
such  an  inquiry  would  probably  be  can  only  be  broadly 
guessed  In.  a.ll  probability  it  would  be  found  that  not 
only  are  we  suffering  from  too  much  legislative  inter- 
ference with  the  course  of  our  daily  lives,  but  also  that 
the  interference  reaches  us  through  channels  which  are  not 
Ihe  best  fitted  to  convey  it.  In  glancing  at  the  excessive 
legislative  output  of  recent  years  we  do  not  ignore  the 
extent  and  complexity  of  the  social  and  industrial  con- 
ditions which  had  to  be  provided  foi-;  but  when  every 
rliowaiice  is  made,  the  conclusion  is  still  reached  that 
much  of  the  legislation  was  uncalled  for  and  not  a  little 
of  it  ill-calculated  to  pi-omote  the  objects  aimed  at.  But 
it  is  in  regard  to  the  second  aspect  of  the  matter,  the 
iiiethod  in  which  .the  legislation  has  been .  brouglit  into 
existence,  that  most  dissatisfaction  has  been  called  forth. 
A  tendency  which  had  begun  to  manifest  itself  before  the 
war  of  legislating  by  .the  indirect  method  of  statutory 
rules  and  ordea's  has  taken  a  formidable  extension  since 
the  conclusion  of  peace.  This,  while  it  saves  in  theory 
the  principle  of  the  supreme  law-making  power  of  Parlia- 
ment, takes  away  in  practice  from  both  Houses  the  effec- 
tive control  over  the  administrative  substance  of  statutes 
and  vests  it  in  one  or  other  of  the  Government  depart- 
ments. The  method  by  which  the  principle  of  tlve  law- 
making power  is  saved  to  Parliament  is  specious,  and 
might  with  suitable  safeguards  for  its  effective  function- 
ing preserve  the  spirit  as  well  as  the  letter  of  the  con- 
stitution. The  rule  ordinarily  applicable  to  those  statu- 
tory rules  and  orders  is  that  even  after  they  have  been 
raade  and  published  by  the  depai-.tment  authorised  to  pro- 
mulgate them,  they  must  not  come  into  force  until  they 
have  lain  for  forty  days  on  the  tables  of  both  Hou.ses  of 
Parliament  :  and  during  this  time  it  is  open  to  Parliament 
to  suspend,  annul  or  otherwise  deal  with  them  as  it  thinks 
fit.  Whatever  may  be  the  adequacy  of  this  safegua.rd  in 
theory,  experience  shows  that  it  has  next  to  no  effect  in

actual  practice,  and  the  result  is  that  the  power  of  ofEcials 
to  carry  through  statutory  rules  and  orders  dealing,  with 
matters  touching  nearly  every  phase  of  the  citizen's  life 
is  unchecked.  As  this  is  becoming  more  and  more  the  sub- 
ject of  comment  by  critics.,  it  is  likely  that  some  attempt 
will  be  made  to  remedy  "it — with  whatever  .sTiccess.  It 
might  perhaps  be  provided  that  no  statutory  rule  and 
order  should  come  into  force  until  its  desirability  and 
adequacy  had  been  established  to  the  satisfaction  of  a 
committee  of  either  or  both  Houses  of  Parliament.  Such 
a  proposal  -would,  of  course,  not  appeal  strongly  to  the 
departmedit  responsible  for  the  rule  and  order,  and  it  is 
by  no  means  cert,ain  that  the  necessary  committees  which 
would  be  capable  of  carrying  through  the  teclmical  work 
of  revision  could  be  got  together.  But  if  such  a  difficulty 
were  found  to  exist,  it  would  only  emphasise  tlie  sugges- 
tion we  have  made  as  to  the  need  of  representation  for 
various  interests  in,  Parliament ;  and  the  discovery  could 
be  relied  on  in  time  to  bring  about  its  remedy.  The 
position  of  chemists  and  druggists  is  one  which  demands 
special  attention  from  this  point  of  view.  Statutory  rules 
and  orders  in  which  they  have  been  particularly  interested 
have  been  issued  in  bewildering  profusion  about  national 
health  insurance,  dangerous  "  drugs  and  other  subjects 
by  the  Government  departments  authorised  'to  issue  them. 
It  would  be  idle  to  suggest  that  these  orders  could  not  be 
improved  and  made  of  more  practical  value  by  the  appli- 
cation of  the  technical  skill  and  knowledge  of  chemists' 
representatives  in  Parliament.  What  applies  to  statutory 
rules  and  orders  has  at  least  equal  and  certainly  more 
immediate  relevance  to  ordinary  legislation.  Amendments 
called  for  in  various  branches  of  the  law  touch  chemists' 
interests  closely,  and  can  only  be  adequately  carried 
through  in  the  light  of  the  experience  a.nd  technical  know- 
ledge possessed  by  those  who  have  a  special  acquaintance 
with  the  business  of  chemists.  The  questions  of  medi- 
cated wines  and  the  early  closiiig  of  shops  may  be  cited 
as  instances.  Tlie  whole  matter  well  deserves  the  atten- 
tion of  the  bodies  engaged  in  watching  the  general 
inte'iests  of  chemists  and  druggists. 

The  Position  of  Shellac 

Clear  evidence  of  resistance  in  the  shellac  market  to 
adverse  statistical  features,  at  least  on  this  side,  has 
been  afforded  by  the  recent  considerable  improvement 
in  prices  to  upward  of  200s.  per  cwt.  both  for  spot 
and  forward  deliveries  of  standard  TN  Orange. 
Incoming  supplies  so  far  this  year  have  been  on  a  much 
larger  scale,  and  this  has  resulted  in  warehouse  stocks 
mounting  up  substantially  to  figures  not  seen  for  several 
years,  as  indicated  later,  and_  the  generally  stronger 
aspect  of  the  market  has  caused  some  little  surprise  to 
close'  observers.  There  is  certainly  an  abundant  spot 
supply  to  draw  from,  as  at  the  end  of  last  month  there 
was  about  four  months'  requirements  available,  if  the 
figures  are  calculated  on  the  monthly  averages  of 
deliveries  so  far  this  year.  Therefore,  it  is  not  easy 
to  account  for  the  recent  upward  trend  of  prices, 
although  the  world's  consumption  is  undoubtedly  well 
maintained,  if  not  at  a  further  progressive  rate.  There 
have  apparently  been  stronger  factors  at  work  between 
the  source  of  supply  and  consuming  centres,  particularly 
America,  which  tended  to  strengthen  sentiment  on  this 
side.  Another  factor  has  been  the  recent  tightening  of 
the  position  at  Calcutta,  which  was  attributed  to  a 
shortage  of  stock,  although  this  could  only  be  temporary 
and  may  have  been  exaggerated.  At  it .  is,  prices  in 
Calcutta  at  one  period  under  review  advanced  consider- 
ably under  covering  purchases  by  dealers  in  connection 
with  the  completion  of  contracts  for  export  to  the 
United  States,  where  business  has  broadened  out  as  a 
result  of  a  much  freer  trade  demand.  In  America  there 
is  no  doubt  that  the  outlet  for  shellac  in  the  manufac- 
ture of  gramophone  records  has  experienced  a  marked 


expansion  and  possibly  more  than  has  been  the  case  in 
other  count;ries.  ,  Possibilities  as  to  a  further  develop- 
ment are  held  to  be  an  important  point'  as  to  the'  future 
of  shellac,  despite  the,  attempts  which  have  already  been  , 
and  are  likely  to  continue  to  be  made  to  manufacture 
"  synthetic  "i,  lac  for  this  purpose  at  a  much  reduced 
cost.  Whatever  may  eventually  prove  to  be  the  merits 
of  "  synthetic  "  lac  it  cannot  be  said  that  the  aspect 
of  the  market  has  been  in  the  least  affected.  Our  usual 
figures,  indicating  the  monthly  average  of  landings  ai,d 
outgoings  in  London  in  recent  years,  are  as  follows  : —

It  will  be  seen  that  imports  for  the  four  months  at 
9,059  cases  were  much  heavier  and  considerably  in  excess 
of  the  calls  made  on  the  market.  This,  therefore,  led 
to  an  abnormal  accumulation  of  stocks,  to  which,  how- 
ever, even  now  no  undue  importance  need  be  attached 
as  already  contended  on  March  23  (6*.  dfc  D.,  pp.  359-60). 
Tlie  trade  takings  so  far  this  year  have  again  been 
considerably  increased.  Tlie  complete  Lon<ftii  returns

The  increase  in  the  stocks  for  last  month  was  excep- 
tionally heavy,  amounting  by  5,736  cases  to  27,774  cases, 
which  is  very  striking  as  compared  with  the  low  level 
of  about  10,()00  cases  a  year  previous,  but  20,596  cases 
two  years  ago.  The  movement  of  supplies  this  month 
will  probably  be  much  smaller  than  during  April,  this 
applying  to  either  arrivals  or  deliveries,  and  stocks 
may  possibly  disclose  no  important  alteration.  Recently, 
prices  at  Calcutta  rose  sharply  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
95  rupees,  but  last  week  declined  to  about  90  rupees, 
which  was  fully  reflected  in  the  terminal  market  here, 
and  the  spot  price  was  slightly  reduced,  with  no  indica- 
tion of  selling  pressure.  The  United  States  has  been 
responsible  for .  the  much  heavier  quantities  imported 
direct  from  Calcutta  during  April.  The  total  shipments 
in  that  month  to  all  ports  indicated  an  increase  of  about 
50  per  cent,  compared  with  April,  1928,  but  this  excess 
was  taken  by  America  alone,  which  country  has  also 
absorbed  the  bulk  of  the  Calcutta  shipments  of  seedlac 
and  sticklac. 

Chemotherapy  Redefined 

The  fact  that  a  recent  report  of  the  Privy  Council's 
Committee  for  Scientific  and  Industrial  Research  recom- 
mends a  grant,  commencing  at  £2,000  per  annum,  towards 
research  to  be  carried  out  in  chemotherapy  by  a  joint 
committee  set  up  by  the  Department  and  the  j\Iedical 
Research  Council  lends  interest  to  existing  definitions 
of  the  word.  The  report  states  that  "  chemotherapy  " 
is  a  name  originated  by  Ehrlich  to  denote  "  the 
organised  search  for  and  practical  -application  of  sub- 
stances, whether  natural  or  artificial,  which  would  act 
as  remedies  for  infection  by  specific  elimination  of  the 
infecting  organism,"  and  adds  that  the  joint  committee 
considered  the  possibility  of  search  for  "  substances 
which  may  have  either  specific  action  on  infecting 
organisms,  or  no  chemotherapeutic  action  in  this  sense, 
but  activity  of  potential  value  in  the  treatment  of 
symptoms."  It  mav  be  hoped  that  the  joint  committee 
is  not  under  the  illusion  that  everything  "  of  potential 
value  in  the  treatment  of  symptoms  "  belongs  to  the 


634 


The  Chemist  and  Druggist 


May  25,  1929 


domain  of  chemotherapy.  A  useful  summary  of  the  ' 
work  of  Ehrlich  and  his  followers  was  given  by  Sir 
Almroth  Wright  in  a  recent  issue  of  "  The  Lancet." 
Sir  Almroth  expressed,  with  his  usual  lucidity,  the 
view  that  Ehrlich's  appellation  was  unfortunate,  on  the 
ground  that  properly  it  should  belong  to  every  form 
of  chemical  treatment,  and  proceeded  to  give  the  follow- 
ing glosses  :— 

(1)  Chemotherapy,  in  Ehrlich'.s  sense,  signifies  aggressive 
chiGmicail  action  exerted  on  a  biolcgical  element  which  is 
parasitic  Uipon  the  organism.  In  other  words,  ohemo- 
therapy,  in  Ehrlich's  sense,  means  for  all  ordinary  purposes  : 
Sfccijie  parasitocidal  cke?iiotherapy. 

(2)  Further,  chemotherapy,  as  understood  by  Ehrlich, 
signifies  chemical  action,  which,  while  attacking  parasitic 
elements,  leaves  the  organism  fundamentally  unaffected. 
(In  other  words,  chemotherapy,  in  Ehrlich's  sense, _  would, 
expressed  in  his  terminology,  be:  spcri-fic  parasitocidal, 
predominantly  monotropic  chemotliero py).  ■ 

(3)  Lastly,  the  chemolherapy  Ehrlich  had  in  view  was 
treatment  by  artificially  man^ifnctured  cheinical  products, 
as  distinguished  from  products  elaborated  in  the  animal 
organism  in  response  to  inifection  or  vaccination.  In  con- 
formity with  this,  Ehrlich's  cliemothevapy  would  be  properly 
described  ^as :  specific  parasitocidal,  predominantly  mono- 
tropic  phar  macotherapy . 

Probably,  however,  it  is  too  late  to  _  change  a  word 
having  an  internationally  accepted  meaning.  It  may  be 
added  that  Ehrlich,  in  conversation,  used  to  point  out 
that  the  action  of  any  effective  chemical  substance  must 
be  lethal  fjjr  the  nucleus  of  the  bacillus  at  which  it  is, 
directed. 

Eucalyptus  Oil  Production 

The  future  position  of  the  eucalyptus  oil  industry  is  receiv- 
ing considerable  attention  in  Australia,  and  some  interest- 
ing points  are  discussed  in  "  The  Chemist  and  Di-uggist  of 
Australasia  ' '  of  March  9,  1929.  The  Forests  Commission  of 
the  Victorian  Government  recently  decided  that  private 
distillers  were  not  making  the  best  of  their  opportunities, 
and  it  was  decided  to  test  the  whole  industry  by  estab- 
lishing an  e.xperimental  distillery  near  Tarnagulla.  It  was 
concluded  that  the  methods  of  private  distillers  were  in- 
elastic, and  that  from  a  given  quantity  of  leaves  twice  as 
much  oil  as  at  present  yielded  could  be  obtained.  Another 
argument  of  the  Forests  Commission  was  that  different 
kinds  of  leaves  often  require  modifications  of  'process,  and 
that,  speaking  generally,  the  distillers  were  not  using  the 
appropriate  treatment.  It  was  pointed  out  that  the 
Government  had  no  intention  of  competing  in  the  open 
market  and  that  the  research  would  be  carried  out  in  the 
hope  that  the  discoveries  would  eventually  benefit  private 
enterprise.  Tremendous  opposition  has  been  experienced, 
and  the  project  has  been  described  as  "  a  futile  and  un- 
warranted interference  with  an  established  industry." 
However,  there  was  no  stopping  the  machinery  of  the 
Government,  and  operations  were  duly  commenced  on  the 
installation  of  plant  at  Tarnagulla.  As  time  went  on  a 
public  meeting  was  held  at  Tarnagulla  to  discuss  the 
Ministi'y's  proposal  to  dispose  of  the  eucalyptus  plant  at 
Waangarra.  It  was  contended  by  a  speaker  that  it  would 
be  in  the  interests  of  Tarnagulla  and  the  State  for  the 
Government  to  retain  the  plant  already  erected.  Experi- 
mental work,  it  was  suggested,  should  be  continued  and 
better  marketing  methods  investigated.  After  further 
discussion  the  Minister  (Mr.  Pennington)  agreed  to  suspend 
furtlier  work  of  installation,  and  asserted  that  as  flie  oil 
was  pi-actically  unsaleable  'the  Government  would  not  be 
justified  in  working  the  plant.  He  regretted  that  the 
industry  was  in  such  a  bad  way,  and  he  would  personally 
consider  any  offer  of  local  co-operation.  There  was  a  feel, 
ing  in  the  district  that  the  opening  of  a  State  distillery 
would  have  provided  additional  employment,  but  the  same 
effect  could  be  obtained  by  extending  the  for^est  thinning 
work.  An  application  is  to  be  made  to  the  Treasury  for 
money  for  this  purpose.  During  the  discussion  it  was 
stated  that  the  supply  of  eucalyptus  oil  greatly  exceeded 
the  demand,  and  besides  a  stock  of  twenty  tons  held  by 
the  Forests  Commission  ther'e  were  also,  in  the  hands  of 
,  private  distillers,  large  quantities,  for  which  no  market 
could  be  found.  Prices  are  very  low,  and  though  values 
have  been  stable  during  the  past  winter,  it  seems  certain 
tliat  production  will  be  curtailed  unless  a  more  economic 
return  is  available  to  the  distillers.

Becord   of   matters    concerning    Chemists'  interests   in  the 
National  Healtli  Insurance  Acts 

Local  Reports 
ENGLAND  AND  WALES 

Blackburn. — A  question  aros«  at  a  meeting  of  the 
Blacklburn  Insurance  Commititee,  on  May  16,  as  to  whether 
a  prescription  for  saccharin  tablets  could  form  a  proper 
charge  on  the  Drug  Fund.  The  Panel  Committee  stated 
tliat  as  the  taiblets  "were  required  for  a  diabetic  patient 
they  should  form  a  proper  charge.  Alderman  Grimslia'w 
said  saccharin  was  not  a  di'ug,  and  should  not  form  a 
charge  on  the  funds.  If  saccharin  could  he  supplied 
numerous  other  articles  in  the  same  category  which  were 
not  drugs,  could  also  Ibe  supplied.  He  felt  they  must 
draw  a  line  somewhere.  Mr.  Hindle  tho'Ught  tihey  should 
refer  the  matter  to  the  Minister  of  Health,  as  there 
appeared  to  be  no  definition  of  a  drug  in  the  regulations. 
The  only  reference  was  that  drugs  included  "  medicines," 
and  clearly  sacchai-in  was  not  a  medicine. 

Cornwall. — At  a  mcctitig  held  recently,  the  Insurance 
Committee  discussed  an  allegation  made  against  a 
chemist'that  he  had  altered  a  prescription.  The  chemist 
complained  that  the  writing  on  the  prescription  was 
very  light,  and  he  had  given  it  the  best  interpretation 
he.  could.  The  committee  fined  him  £2  2s.  The  ckrk, 
said  that  complaints  had  been  made  verbally  about  bad 
writing,  but  not  oflacially.  Mr.  Vivian  said  that  four 
chemists  had  asked  him  to  appeal  to  the  medical  pro- 
fession to  make  their  prescriptions  as  plain  as  possible, 
so  as  to  avoid  any  misunderstanding  or  error.  A  member 
.suggested  that  it  would  be  more  satisfactory  if  any 
complaints  were  made  in  the  proper  way  in  writing 
instead  of  through  individual  members.  The  chairman  : 
I  don't  see  how  doctors  can  improve  their  writing  on 
the  spur  of  the  moment. 

Coventry — It  was  resolved  at  a  recent  meeting  of  the 
Insurance  Committee  that  the  sum  of  £538  17s.  Sd.  be 
paid  forthwith  to  chemists  on  the  list  for  1928,  being 
the  difference  between  £3,753  8s.  6d.,  the  amount  of 
dispensing  fees  advanced  for  1928,  and  £4,292  6s.  2d., 
which  IS  104.15  per  cent,  of  the  certified  total  dispensing 
fees  of  £4,121  5s.  9d.,  settlement  in  full  for  ingredient 
charges  having  already  been  made. 

Cumberiand.— At  a  meeting  of  the  Insurance  Committee 
on  April  26,  the  Pharmaceutical  Service  Subcommittee  re- 
ported on  an  excess  of  acid  nitric  dil,  which  was  found 
m  a  sample  that  had  been  analysed.  The  chemist  from 
whom  the  sample  had  been  obtained  had  attended  before 
the  Committee,  and  he  said  that  the  stock  was  talcen  over 
when  he  acquired  the  business  nine  years  ago.  The  pre- 
paration had  never  been  dispensed  during  that  time.  His 
wife,  who  had  heen  in  the  dispensing  business  for  14  years, 
took  cliarge  during  his  illness.  The  correct  quantity  was 
dispensed  but  the  fault  was  in  the  acid.  The  Subcom- 
mittee considered  that  the  explanation  was  satisfactory. 
The  clerk  said  that  he  had  reported  to  the  Ministry,  but 
that  another  letter  had  been  received,  stating  that  the  facts 
as.  disclosed  were  such  as  to  warrant  the  withholding  of  a 
portion  of  the  amount  due  to  the  Committee  with  a  cor- 
responding deduction  from  the  chemist's  remuneration. 
The  Ministry  also  wanted  to  know  whether  the  chemist's 
wife  was  fuUy  qualified.  In  the  opinion  of  the  Committee 
the  case  had  been  met  by  the  caution,  personally  admin- 
istered to  the  chemist  by  the  Subcommittee.  They  had 
to  ibear  all  the  circumstances  of  the  case  in  mind.  The 
chemist's  wife  was  not  a  qualified  chemist,  but  she  had 
had  considerable  experience,  and  no  other  person  could  be 
got  at  the  time.  It  was  moved  that  the  Subcommittee's 
action  he  confirmed.  _  Mr.  Townley  seconded  the  motion, 
and  said  that  the  Ministry  -was  making  a  mountain  out 
of  a  molehill.  There  had  been  no  error  in  the  dispensing 
oTthe  medicine.  It  was  quite  a  simple  matter  after  all. 
The  chairman  said  he  agreed  with  that.  The  Subcorh- 
mittee's  report  was  then  adopted.  The  Pharmaceutical 
Subcommittee  minntes  stated  that  they  had  considered  the 
report  of  the  analyst  on  a  sample  of  medicine  which  it 
was  alleged  showed  a  deficiency  of  17.3  per  cent,  of  pot. 
iodide.  The  chemist  stated  that  there  was  no  intention  to 
give  a  shortage,  but  he  had  forgotten  to  put  in  the 


drachm  of  solution.  The  bottle  was  an  8.2  fluid  ouncft 
bottle  instead  of  an  eight  fluid  ounce  bottle,  and  it  was 
the  first  of  a  new  batch.  The  Subcomin:t.iee  recommended 
that  10s.  6d.  be  deducted. 

Kent — At  a  meeting  of  the  Insurance  Committee,  on 
April  10,  the  Pharmaceutical  Service  Subcommittee  re- 
ported on  a  case  in  which  a  firm  of  chemists  were  invited 
to  appear  before  them  upon  it  being  discovered  that  a 
number  of  prescriptions  had  been  altered  to  make  it  appear 
that  medicines  or  dressings  to  a  greater  value  than  those 
ordered  had  been  supplied.  The  sum  involved  would  not 
exceed  £5.  The  secretary  admitted  that  the  alterations 
had  been  made  fraudulently  by  the  manageress.  The 
Subcommittee  had  formed  the  opinion  that  it  was  a  case 
in  which  leniency  would  not  be  misplaced.  The  acts 
were  foolish  and  must  have  been  to  a  large  extent  thought- 
less, since  in  the  greater  number  of  instances  the  amount 
gained  was  infinitely  small  and  in  some  cases  less  than 
Id.  -  The  Committee  thought  it  hardly  a  case  to  make 
representations  that  the  firm  should  be  removed  from  the 
list.  The  manageress  accepted  sole  responsibility.  The 
Committee  recommended  that  the  amount  overpaid  be  re- 
covered, that  the  firm  be  severely  censured,  and  that  the 
case  be  referred  to  the  Minister  of  Health  with  a  sug- 
gestion that  a  substantial  amount  be  withheld  with  a 
view  to  its  recovery  by  deduction  from  the  remuneration 
payable  to  the  company.  The  Dispensing  Subcommittee 
reported  that  a  satisfactory  arrangement  had  been  made 
for  the  supply  of  drugs  at  East  Mailing  where  no  chemist 
existed,  the  doctor  leaving  the  prescription  with  the 
chemist  at  West  Mailing  selected  by  the  patient  and  the 
chemist  sending  the  medicine  to  a  depot  at  East  Mailing 
to  be  collected  by  the  patient.  Reference  was  made  to 
the  death  of  Mr.  H.  C.  H.  Oliver,  chemist  and  druggist, 
West  Mailing. 

Oldham. — At  a  meeting  of  the  Insurance  Committee  on 
April  15,  it  was  reported  that  the  total  cost  of  drugs 
and  appliances  supplied  to  insured  persons  during  1928 
was  £14,574,  compared  with  £15,521  during  the  preceding 
twelve  months,  or  a  decrease  of  £947.  The  cost  per 
head  was  47. 6d.  against  51.3d.  The  total  number  of 
prescriptions  had  been  391,734  against  412,579  during  the 
previous  year  and  307,126  in  1924.  Oldham's  figure  of 
47.6d.  per  insured  person  was  exceeded  only  by  Preston, 
where  the  average  cost  per  insured  person  was  47. 8d. 
It  had  been  estimated  by  the  Bureau  that  the  first  quarter 
of  1929  would  prove  the  most  costly  yet  experienced, 
owing  to  the  influenza  epidemic.  Figures  for  the  first 
two  months  showed  that  in  January  throughout  the  area 
the  total  prescriptions  cost  £1,435  against  £1,467  in 
January  of  1928,  and  in  February  £1,762  compared  with 
£1,391.  A  local  chemist  reported  that  a  parcel  of  pre- 
scriptions had  been  lost  in  transit  between  his  shop  and 
the  local  office.  The  prescriptions  showed  that 
£26  6s.  2d.  was  due  to  him.  It  was  agreed  that  pay- 
ments be  made  to  the  chemist  based  on  the  above  figures, 
subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Ministry.

The  Chemist  and  Druggist 


May  25,  1929 


Merchandise  Marks  Act 

Imported  Glassware 
{Continued  from  C.  <L-  D.,  p.  575) 

Ml'.  Foster  replied  that  thfe  whol&  tendency  of  the 
prices  of  glass  bottles  lately  had  been  to  fall  and  the 
foreigner  always  endeavoured  to  keep  his  price  a  little 
below  that  of  the  British  firms, 

Eeplying  to  Mr.  Comyns  Care,  who  cross-examined  for 
the  opponents.  Mr.  Foster  denied  that  British  makers 
cannot  manufacture  bottles  which  will  withstand  heat 
and  pressure,  and  he  contended  that  if  there  were  a 
sufficient  demand  the  necessary  plant  would  be  installed. 
There  had  been  certain  difficulties,  but  he  claimed  British 
makers  had  got  over  them  and  bottles  were  now  being 
made  for  containing  liquids,  etc.,  for  tropical  climates- 
Mr.  E.  J.  Norton,  secretary  of  the  City  Glass  Bottle 
Co..  of  Canning  Town,  gave  similar  evidence,  and  added 
that  there  were  cases  in  which  the  large  buj^er  did  not 
know  whether  he  was  buying  British  or  foreign  bottles, 
when  buying  from  a  wholesale  merchant,  unless  he  speci- 
fied one  or  the  other. 

Evidence  was  next  given  by  i-epresentatives  of  the 
trades  unions  connected  with  the  bottle  and  container 
trade  in  support  of  the  application.  The  inquiry  was 
adjourned  until  Tuesday,  when  Mr.  S.  A.  Coed-Pryor, 
chief  chemist  to  the  United  Glass  Bottlfe  Manufacturers, 
said  that  as  a  result  of  carefully  investigating  the 
problem  of  producing  a  bottle  which  would  stand  the 
heat  and  pressure  involved  in  pasteurisation  of  beer, 
milk,  etc.,  his  firm  had  been  able  for  some  time  past 
to  produce  satisfactory  bottles,  and  he  repudiated  the 
suggestion  made  by  the  opposition  that  suitable  bottles 
for  this  purpose  cannot  be  obtained  in  Great  Britain. 
The  whole  problem  was  deciding  upon  the  height  to 
which  the  bottles  were  to  be  filled  so  that  the  manu- 
facturers of  the  bottles  knew  the  amount  of  air  space 
to  leave.  At  the  same  time,  the  trouble  had.  mainly 
been  with  the  large  bottles,  and  as  a  matter  of  fact,  at 
the  present  time  bottles  of  all  sizes  for  use  in  pasteurisa- 
tion were  being  bought  in  increasing  quantities  from 
British  makers.  His  company,  which  was  the  largest 
manufacturer  of  glass  bottles  in  England  or  Europe, 
would  now  guarantee  all  their  bottles  to  withstand  the 
temperatures  and  pressures  involved  in  pasteurisation,  at 
the  same  time  filling  the  bottles  to  a  commercial  level. 

Under  cross-examination,  witness  stated  that  the 
difficulty  had  now  been,  overcome  for  some  two  years 
and  it  was  now  generally  well  known  that  suitable 
bottles  could  be  obtained  in  this  country  from  British 
manufacturers. 

Mr.  D.  R.  RoBEETSON  (assistant  manager  of  the 
Canning  Town  Glass  Works)  also  gave  evidence  to  the 
effect  that  the  difficulties  experienced  some  time  back 
in  connection  with  glass  containers  for  foods  have  now 
been  overcome. 

Mr.  Morris  cross-examined  witness  as  to  the  con- 
fusion likely  to  be  caused  in  the  minds  of  purchasers 
of  such  glass  containers  filled  with  food  inasmuch  as 
usually  they  were  exhibited  in  the  windows  upside  down 
in  order  that  the  contents  might  be  seen  and  examined. 
If,  said  coun.sel,  the  glass  was  marked  "  foreign,"  the 
purchaser  would  surely  be  led  to  believe  that  the 
contents  also  were  foreign. 

Mr.  Robertson  suggested  that  this  difficulty  could  be 
got  over  by  marking  the  containers  "  gla^s,  foreign," 
He  added  that  there  was  a  greatly  increasing  number  of 
British  containers  of  this  type  being  manufactured. 

_  Mr.  Morris  suggested  that  if  British  containers  of  the 
right  quality  could  be  ■  obtained  in  this  country  at  the 
right  price,  there  would  be  no  need  for  any  imports, 
and  therefore  no  need  for  any  marking  order. 

Mr.  Robertson,  however,  said  he  held  the  view,  with 
others,  that  the  ultimate  purchaser  should  have  an 
opportunity  of  knowing  whether  the-  article  he  was  buy- 
ing is  British  or  not! 

Tuesday's  Proceedings. 

Mr.  Wethered  (Counsel  for  the  applicants)  read  a 
resolution  which  was  passed  on  November  25,  1928,  by 
the  Pressed  TUass  Makers'  Society  (a  body  whose  mem- 


bership comprises  the  skilled  workers  in  the  industry)  in 
support  of  the  application. 

Mr.  B.  S.  OTHAUS,  J. P.  (chairman  of  Virol,  Ltd..  and 
who  also  had  authority  to  represent  Bovrij.  Ltd.),  gave 
evidence  against  the  application.  Both  these  companies, 
he  said,  were  very  large  users  of  glass  containers  for  tke 
packing  of  food  products,  and  Virol,  Ltd.,  had  used 
British  bottles  exclusively,  except  for  a  period  during 
the  war,  when  they  had  been  unable  to  obtain  British- 
made  bottles  and  had  obtained  Pupplies  from  the  U.S,A. 
It- was  quite  possible  that,  as  the  result  of  strikes  and 
hold-ups  in  the  glass  industry  in  this  country,  they 
might  at  any  time  be  compeDed  to  pack  their  products 
in  bottles  of  *oreign  origin,  and  it  would  be  exceedingly 
prejudicial  to  their  business  if  they  were  comjielled  to 
send  out  their  products  in  bottles  bearing  a  mark  of 
foreign  origin.  Such  marking  of  the  containers  would 
suggest  to  many  people  that  the  contents  also  were 
foreign,  and_  would  greatly  prejudice  the  goodwill  of  the 
British-made  article.  It  would  also  create  prejudice  in 
the  Dominions,  where  the  necessity  for  the  use  of  such 
bottles  might  r.ot  be  understood.  The  bulk  of  the  bottles 
used  at  present  were  marked  "  made  in  England,"  but 
if  it  should  become  necessary  at  any  time  to  use  foreign 
bottles,  and  there  were  a  sudden  change  over  to  bottles 
with  an  indication  of  foreign  origin,  complaints  would 
be  made  by  buyers  and  they  would  be  very  chary  about 
buying.  Such  a  change  would  have  a  very  serious  effect 
indeed  upon  the  sales  of  food  products.  The  glass  bottles 
which  had  been  obtained  from  the  United  States  during 
the  war  were  excellent;  he  believed  it  was  the  best  glass 
his  company  had  ever  had,  ancl  the  wastage  was  infi- 
nitely small.  There  had  been  an  enormous  number  of 
throw-outs  of  y-]nglish  bottles  when  they  were  first  used, 
but  he  was  glad  to  =ay  that  the  number  had  since  been 
very  much  reduced.  As  to  price,  taking  all  charges  into 
consideration,  there  was  very  little  difference  between 
the  foreign  5,nd  British. 

Mr.  Wethered  (cross-examining)  suggested  a  marking 
which  would  indicate  that  the  container  was  foreign  but 
that  the  contents  were  British.  No-  sensible  person 
would  then  impute  that  the  contents  _were  foreign. 

Mr.  Straus  icplied  that  buyers  were  not  all  sensible, 
and  that  if  they  saw  an  indication  that  the  containers 
were  foreign  the  trade  would    be  prejudiced. 

Mr.  Wethered  pointed  out  that  Virol  and  Bovril  had 
a  reputation  for  supplying  British  goods,  and  that  if 
they  supplied  those  goods  in  foreign  bottles  which  were 
not  marked,  and  did  not  want  the  public  to  know  the 
bottles  were  foreign,  they  were  misleading  the  i^ublic. 

Mr.  Straus  replied  that  they  did  not  wish  to  mislead. 
Not  only  would  the  marking  affect  the  trade,  but  the 
making  of  r.n  Order  requiring  foreign  bottles^  to  be 
marked  would  lead  the  British  bottle  manufacturers  to 
increase  their  prices. 

Mr.  Wethered  said  that  there  was  a  great  deal  of 
competition  between  British  manufacture! s. 

Mr.  Straus  replied  that  probably  there  were  also 
working  agreements. 

Mr.  Wethered  said  he  was  informed  that  there  were 
no  working  agreements  between  the  manufacturere. 

Perfumery  Bottles 

Major  J.  H.  B.  Wigginton,  M.C,  T.D.  <a  director  of 
some  of  the  associated  companies  of  Lever  Bros.,  Ltd.), 
gave  evidence  against  the  application,  and  said  he  had 
been  nominated  to  do  so  by  the  managing  director  of 
Lever  Bros,,  Ltd.  The  associated  companies  manufac- 
tured soaps  and  perfumes  and  kindred  articles  for  home 
and  e.\;port  trade,  and  had  all  definitely  recorded  the 
view  that  the  proposed  compulsory  branding  of  imported 
containers  was  undesirable.  They  were  substantial  users 
of  glass  containers,  certain  types  of  which  they,  pur- 
chased from  British  glass  factories,  whose  products  were 
satisfaetorv,  but  other  types  they  could  not  obtain  in  this 
country.  In  1920  or  1921  lie  had  offered  a  certain  British 
manufacturer  financial  assistance  to  produce  a  certain  type 
of  .perfume  bottle,  the  figure  of  £20,000  being  mentioned 
in  this  connection,  but  the  manufacturer  concerned  had 
stated  definitely  that  it  was  impossible  to  make  it  in 
this  country.

Ergot  Imports  to  U.S.A. 

The  value  of  «rgot  imported  into  the  United  States 
during  the  first  nine  months  of  1928  exceeded  that  of  any 
year  during  the  twenty-year  period  1909-1928,  inclusive, 
excepting  1919  and  1920."  The  quantity  and  value  of  the 
imports  into  the  United  States  during  the  past  nineteea 
years  and  the  first  nine  months  of  1928  are  given  in  the

U.S.  Consular  reports  from  Vigo  and  Barcelona  state 
that  during  the  latter  part  of  1928  little  interest  was 
shown  by  buyers  in  the  new  Spanish  crop,  possibly  be- 
cause of  lower  prices  quoted  by  Central  Euroi>ean  markets 
for  German  and  Russian  ergot.  It  is  etated  that  con- 
siderable quantities  of  Spanish  ergot  are  available  for 
shipment  if  any  agreement  with  the  owners  can  be 
reached.  Shippers  do  not  feel  disposed  to  cut  prices  to 
any  appreciable  extent,  however,  and  shipments  are 
being  made  only  at  irregular  intervals  and  in  compara- 
tively small  volume.    Exports  to  the  U.S.A.  during  the

Trade  Report 

The  prices  given  in  this  section  are  those  obtained  by  Im- 
oorters  or  manufacturers  for  built  quantities  or  original 
packages.  To  these  prices  various  charges  have  to  be 
added,  whereby  values  are  in  many  instances  greatly 
augmented  before  wholesale  dealers  receive  the  goods 
into  stock,  after  which  much  expense  may  be  mcurred 
in  garbling,,  packing,  etc.  Ouallties  of  chemicals,  drugs, 
essential  and  fixed  oils,  and  many  other  commodities 
vary  greatly,  and  higher  prices  than  those  here  quoted  are 
charged  for  selected  qualities  of  natural  products  even 
in  bulk  quantities. 

42  Cannon  Street,  E.C.4,  May  23. 

This  having-  been  a  broken  week  on  the  markets  there  is 
little  of  interest  to  comment  upon.  In  pharmaceutical 
chemicals  business  remains  on  a  fairly  good  scale,  with 
prices  substantially  unchanged.  Citric  acid  has  been  in 
good  demand  and  prices  show  a  tendency  to  advance,  while 
tartaric  acid  is  also  fully  maintained.  Crude  drugs  are 
practically  all  unchanged.  Bourbon  vanilla  is  firmer  in 
some  quarters.  Ko^rdofan  gum  acacia  ie  quiet  but  steady. 
Menthol  is  weak.  Peppers  have  been  in  fair  specidaitve 
demand  at  higher  prices,  and  interest  in  West  African 
ginger  ie  well  maintained.  Business'  in  essential  oils,  is 
Btill  very  dull,  and  thii?  lack  of  demand  is  reflected  in  the 
receding  va,Tu6s  of  the  citrus  oils,  which  are  all  lower. 
American  peppermint  is  slightly  easier,  and  Bourbon 
vetivert  a  shade  firmer.  Business  has  been  quieter  among 
the  industrial  chemicals  owing  to  the  intervention  of  the 
holidays,  and  there  are  no  alterations  in  regard  to  prices. 
Formaldehyde  tends  to  weaken.  After  a  period  of  dull 
markets,  several  item^  among  the  so-called  vegetable  oils 
are  showing  more  life.  Gotten  oils  are  firm  ;  groundnut  is 
firmer;  rape  is  steady  and  castor  slightly  easier.  Turpen- 
tine is  firmer  and  soya  is  cheaper.

corresponding  period  of  last  year,  and  the  yield  of  steam- 
refined  cod-liver  oil  amounits  to  84,471  hectolitres,  against 
47,292  hectolitres  at  the  same  pei-iod  of  last;  year.  Market

remains  firm  at  from  about  llOs.  per  barrel  c.i.f. 

Crude  Drugs,  etc. 

Antimony  is  neglected,  so  far  as  regards  Chinese,  and 
prices  are  nominal,  with  spot  parcels  at  £35  lOs..  while  c.i.f. 
terms  for  shipment  are  about  £31  10s.  ;  English  refined  is 
stili  £50  to  £55,  but  .tlie  top  brand  could  doubtless  be  now 
secured  at  around  £53. 

Belladonna  eoot  is  quoted  at  576.  6d.  per  cwt.  c.i.f.,  and 
foi  belladonna  leaves  on  the  spot  57s.  6d.  is  also  a.sked.

tha  week  ending  May  18  were  389.  and  the  deliveries  32,  leav- 
ir>^  a  etocfe  of  2,243*,  against  11,712  in  1928  and  6.738  in  1927.

The  drawback  of  the  Zanzibar  clove  duty  which  is  allowed 
m  respect  of  cloves  that  have  been  experted  by  the  authorised 
agent  of  an  approved  vanillin  manufacturer  or  of  an  approved 
clove  oil  distiller  will  be  continued  until  June  30,  1930. 

Cod-liver  oil.— The  recent  rising  tendency  is  still  notice- 
able, and  while  on  account  of  the  intervening  holidays  the 
actual  amount  of  business  has  been  small,  there  is  still  a 
fan  amount  of  inquiry  from  the  trade.    Business  has  been 


done  this  week  through  London  for  direct  shipment  from 
Norway  to  the  Colonies.  Agents  quote  from  107s.  6d.  to 
112s.  6d.  per  baxTel  c.i.f.  London  for  finest  new  Lofoten 
steam-refined  non-freezing  oil.  We  dealt  fully  with  the 
position  last  week  (p.  60i8). 

Bergen,  May  15.— The  fishing  in  Finmarken,  partly  hindered 
by  stormy  weather,  is  declining,  and  the  result  must  be  con- 
sidered a  failure.  Market  for  cod-liver  oil  is  very  firm,  with 
an  active  demand  and  prices  improving,  corresponding  on  the 
domestic-  market  to  112s.  6d.  per  barrel  c.i.f.  London.  The 
export  of  oil  is  considerable.

Mercury. — The  demand  over  the  holidays  was  extremely 
quiet,  but  the  undertone  is  still  steady  under  continued 
limited  imports.  There  are  sellers  at  £22  2s.  6d.  to  £22  Ss. 
per  bottle,  only  small  lots  being  inquired  for.  The  to"e  in 
America  is  steady,  but  Eastern  markets  arc  slow.  I.K.. 
imports  for  last  month  were  only  370  bottles,  against  256 
'bottles  for  March,  and  the  totial  for  the  four  months  is 
abnormally  small  at  only  938  bottles,  which  coinpares  with 
6.623  bottler  for  the  same  period  la^st  year. 

Opiu.m. — The  follow'ing  report  has  been  received  from 
Turkey  :  — 

Constantinople,  May  15.— Sales  during  the  past  fortnight  have 
amounted  to  105  cases  druggists'  at  £T30  to  £T35  -per  oke,  26 
"  softs  "  at  £T32  to  £T35,  and  eight  Malatia  at  £T30  to  £T32. 
■Speculation  continues  to  be  the  supporting  feature  of  the  market. 
The  soil  is  not  any  more  favo:urable,  and  so  purchases  of  one  or 
two  cases  each  day  make  prices  in  the  neighbourhood  of  26s. 
for  th^  12  per  cent.  Beneficial  rains  have  fallen  in  all  'he 
production  districts.  An  estimate  for  the  next  crop  is  at  least 
3,000  cases,  to  which  can  be  added  from  1,200  to  1,500  cases  held 
at  Symrna.  There  will  also  be  about  503  cases  at  Macedonia 
and  about  5O0  cases  of  new  crop  already  in  this  district.  This 
will  give  an  approximate  total  of  5.200  cases  for  the  coming 
year.  Arrivals  have  been  1,628  druggists',  3S5  "  softs,"  and  129 
Malatia,  giving  a  total  of  2,142  cases,  agains't  2,141  over  the 
eame  period  last  year.  Stocks  are  now  548  druggists',  140  "  softs," 
and  68  Malatia,  making  756  cases  against  877  on  this  date  last 
year. 

Pepper  has  shown  a  fair  amount  of  activity  and  is  rather 
higher  in  balance.  Fair  black  Singapore  is  Is.  45d.,  and 
May-.July  shipment  Is.  5|d.  c.i.f.  Lampong  is  Is.  4id. 
spot;  sales  to  arrive  include  May-Jul.y  shipment  at  Is.  Sjd. 
to  Is.  3|d.,  and  August-October  at  Is.  2id.  to  Is.  2|d.  c.i.f. 
Tellichorry  is  Is.  4|d.  spot,  and  Alleppy  l.s.  4|d.  spot. 
White  Muntok  is  steady  at  2s.  2|d.  spot.  Sales  to  arrive 
include  May-July  shipment  at  2s.  2d.  to  2s.  2id.  to  2s.  2id., 
June-August  at  Ss.  Id.,  and  August-October  at  Is.  ll^d. 
to  Is.  llfd.,  c.i.f. 

Pimento  is  firm  but  quiet  at  Is.  3d.  per  lb.  on  the  spot : 
to  ari-ive,  July-August  shipment  is  "125s.,  August-September 
118s..  and  August-October  114s.  c.i.f. 

Ru'BBER  continues  to  create  considerable  attention,  and  is 
at  present  subject  to  important  fluctuations  almost  daily. 
On  Tuesday,  following  ihc  holiday,  the  market  rapidly 
advanced,  and  spot  was  done  up  to  Is.  per  lb.,  whilst  to- 
day a  heavy  decline  took  place,  and  spot  fell  rapidly  to 
llgd.  A  recovery  may  be  expected  at  any  moment,  ae 
the  statistical  position  is  distinctl.y  healthy.  It  is  estimated 
that  for  the  current  month  shipment  to  all  parts  from  the 
East  will  total  43.(X)0  iom.  whilst  the  estim^ited  American 
consumption  for  the  month  is  50,0(X)  tons — a  record  figure.

author! t.v  that  values  should  recover  because  imfavourable 
"vs-eathcr  has  been  experienced  and  the  work  in  the  fields  is

4s.  3d.  per  lb.  as  to  quantity,  although  there  may  be  odd 
parcels  available  at  less.  There  is  a  marked  shortage  of  raw 
material  and  the  quotation  of  3s.  9d.  per  lb.  c.i.f.  appears 
to  be  worth  attention.

Fixed  Oils,  etc. 

One  or  two  items  are  showing  more  life  after  a  period  of 
dull  markets.  Cotton  oils  are  firm,  ground  nut  is  brighter, 
rape  is  steady,  while  cantor  oil  is  slightly  easier.  American 
turpentine  is  steadier.  Acid  oils  are  quiet  but  steady :

Turpentine. — The  tendency  has  again  been  firmer,  with  the 
premium  on  spot  stiffening  owing  to  the  small  stocks.  De- 
li i-eries  last  week  were  1,080  barrels,  making  a  total  since 
January  1  of  37,487  barrels,  which  compares  with  42,646 
barrels  at  the  same  date  last  year.  Stocks  were  returned  at 
3,975  barrels,  against  26,489  barrels  a  year  previous.  Adding 
to  this  a  steamer  afloat  with  9,160  barrels,  makes  the 
London  visible  supply  18,135  bairrels,  against  26,489  barrels 
at/  the  same  date  last  year.  The  London  market  closes  firm 
at  46s.  6d.  per  cwt.  ;  May-June,  44s.  9d. ;  July-December, 
42s.  6d.  Resin. — There  has  been  but  little  alteration  in 
prices  and  business  was  re:tricted  by  tlie  holidays,  although 
the  undertone  is  steady.  C.i.f.  terms  for  shipment  were  ats

Italian  Calcium  Citrate 

A.  CABLE  received  at  Washington  from  the  United  States  con- 
sulates at  Palermo  and  Messina  states  that  new  production 
of  citrate  of  lime  barely  reached  4,000  metric  tons,  about 
300  metric  torks  less  than  last  year.  During  the  season  from 
December  1,  1928,  to  the  end  of  March  1929,  7,021  met.ric 
tons  of  citrate  of  lime  were  'sokl.  of  which  more  than  4,300 
metric  tons  were  sold  between  December  1  'and  February  3 
at  600  lire,  and  the  rest  from  February  4  -to  the  end  of 
March  ait  650  lire  iper  quintal.

Bulgarian  Rose  Oil  Exports 

According  to  the  returns  published  by  the  General-Direction 
of  Statistics,  Sofia,  exports  of  rose  oil  from  Bulgaria  during 
the  month  of  December  1928  amounted  to  104  kilos,  valued 
at  7,970,472  leva,  consigned  ito  the  following  countries :  Great 
Britain,  one  kilo;  Germany,  39  kilos;  France,  62  kilos; 
otlier  coumtries,  two  kilos.  During  the  period  January  to 
December  1928,  the  total  exports  of  rose  oil  from  Bulgaria 
in  tw-olve  months  amourtted  to  3,157  kilos,  valued  at 
240,067,796  leva. 

Olive  Oil  Production 

The  Central  Statistical  Institute  of  Rome  says  tliat  the 
production  of  olive  oil  in  Italy  during  1928  amounted  to 
2,399,900  hectolitres,  against  1,602,200  hectolitres  in  1927.  Th« 
average  of  oil  i^er  quintal  of  fruit  was  17  litres,  against 
15.9  litres  in  1927.  In  January  it  had  been  positively 
asserted  that  tho  result  would  be  a  decline  compared  with 
normal.  Still,  it  is  far  below  -the  level  of  the  time  when 
Italy  was  the  leading  olive  oil  producer — in  tJie  year  1922, 
when  th«  ijroduction  amounted  tO'  2,843,000  liectolitres. '  The 
world  to-clay  produces  about  7,000,000  quintals  in  the  fol- 
lowing order  :  Spain,  43  _  per  cent. ;  Italy,  27  per  cent. ; 
Greece,'  12  per  cent.  ;  whilst  Portugal,  Africa,  etc.,  make 
u;3  the  difference. 

Japanese  Iodine 

Japan's  iodine  export  to  Soviet  Russia  which  had  been  inter- 
rupted for  some  time  has  recently  been  revived  and  crude 
iodine  to  the  amount  of  150,000  yen  in  value  ihas  already 
been  shipped  to  that  country  (says  the  "  Weekly  Druggist  "). 
Japanese  makers  have  been  endeavourring  to  increase  their 
output  and  develop  foreign  markets.  Shortly  after  the 
restoration  of  diplomatic  relations  between  Japan  and 
Russia,  makers  have  been  exporting  iodine  to  Russia,  and 
it  was  expected  that  last  year's  export  would  be  something 
like  600,000  yen,  and  that  the  amount  would  rise  still  higher 
in  the  future.  But  the  plan  was  frustrated  because  Russia 
decided  to  import  iodine  from  Chile.  The  Japan  Iodine 
Co.  has  been  investigating  the  overseas  demand  for  iodine 
in  co-operation  with  the  officials  of  the  Foreign  Office  for 
the  purpose  of  remedying  the  situation  thus  created.  Soviet 
Russia  has  decided  to  buy  Japanese  iodine  again,  after 
negotiation's  between  the  Japanese  producers  and  the  Soviet 
Trade  Representation. 


Chilian  Iodine 

The  exports  of  iodine  from  Antofagasta,  Chile,  during  1928, 
anjounted  to  368  metric  tons,  compared  with  381  tons  in 
1927.  Normally  from  40  to  50  per  cent,  of  Chile's  iodine 
exports  clear  through  this  .port.  During  the  early  pa,rt  of 
1929  the  Chilean  Iodine  Association  held  a  number  of  meet- 
ings, at  which  it  w£is  decided  tliat  on  account  of  the  large 
stocks  of  iodine  held  in  Europe,  and  because  of  other  oon- 
siderations.  a  new  contract  .should  be  made  with  Messrs. 
Gibbs  &  Co.,  allowing  them  to  continue  as  European  sales 
agents,  but  with  a  reduced  commission.  It  has  been  recently 
stated  that  the  Anglo-C|(ilean  Consolidated  Nitrate  Corpora- 
tion will  sell  its  own  products  in  the  United  States  after 
July  1.  Imports  of  iodine  into  the  United  States  during 
1927  and  1928  were  926,000  lb.,  valued  at  $2,901,000  and 
721,000  lb.,  valued  at  $2,429,006,  respectively. 

N.Z.  Kauri  Gum 

A  further  moderate  decrease  in  the  quantity  of  kauri  gum 
received  into  store  .by  Auckland  merchants  during  March, 
compared  with  the  figures  for  February,  is  recorded.  A 
total  of  240  tons,  mainly  of  inferior  quality,  was  received, 
compared  with  275  in  February  and  290  in  January  last. 
The  figure  for  March  of  1928  was  411  tons.  Moderate 
business  is  reported  by  brokers  during  March.  There  has 
been  in  general  a  steady  decline  in  the  quantity  of  gum 
received  into  store  during  the  fiiist  three  months  of  the 
last  five  years,  as  the  following  table  shows:  —

Sudan  Acacia 

Bgxall  &  Co.  in  their  report  dated  April  30  (coverinig  the 
market  period  _  April  1  to  30)  state  that  the  arrival  in 
Kordofan  stations  (including  Tendelti)  amounted  during 
April  to.  1,671  tons,  againat  2,530  tons  last  year — a  shortage 
of  859  tons,  or  34  per  cent.  This  year's  April  arrivals  are 
the  lowest  recorded  for  that  month  over  the  series  of  bumper 
crops  since  1923.  The  shorta.ge  in  Kordofan  and  Tendelti 
arrivals  this  season  to  date,  against  last  season,  whicli  was  a 
record  early  crop,  total  about  4,060  tons.  If  to  this  is  added 
the  shoirtage  in  inferior  Hashab,  estimated  at  a.bout  2,000 
tons,  the  total  shortage  in  Ha&liab  gum  against  last  year 
Avould  .amount  up  to  end  of  April  to  about  6,000  tons. 

Prices:  The  El  Obeid  market  gradually  rose  until  April  11. 
W'hen  the  total  increase  attained  was  13s.  .per  cwt.  On 
April  13,  however,  i.e.,  the  following  market  day,  prices  fell 
to  the  extent  of  4s.  9d.,  but  were  .again  on  the  upward  move 
imtil  Aprd  25,  when  the  increase  totalled  2s.  3d. ;  since  then 
they  have  remained  firm  at  tliat  level.  Tlie  total  net 
i.ficrease  during  the  montli  amounts,  therefore,  to  10s.  6d. 
per  cwt. 

Exports:  To  the  end  of  March  the  exports  of  Hashab  are 
down  by  1.100  tons.  Bleached  exports  are  about  the  same, 
whilst  Talha  is  up  300  tons  a-gainst  the  first  three  months  of 
last  year.  Tlie  net  difleTence  on  all  qualities  is  about  800 
tons  down. 

Crop  and  Tendency  of  Prices:  The  situation  entire! .y 
changed  as  regards  possibilities  of  a  large  crop,  when  with 
■the  beginning  of  AprU  and  normally  hot  weather,  the 
arrivals  did  not  increase,  but  even  declined  agaiiist  tliose  of 
March.  Many  reasons  have  been  suggested,  amongst  others, 
the  low  prices  of  .previous  years  discouraging  collection  and 
camel  transport  being  diverted  from  gum  to  tlie  transport 
of  cotton  from  tlie  Nuba  Mountains,  etc.,  but  whilst  these 
might  have  had  some  effect  we  are  convinced  it  is  due  to  the 
exceptional  dampness  of  the  climate.  Gum  being  a  reaction 
against  drought,  the  excessive  moisture  in  the  atmosphere 
tends  to  keep  the  trees  alive  without  compelling  them  to 
secrete  gum  to  liold  the  moieture  necessaiy  to  their  exist- 
ence. It  is  a  fact  that  even  in  ordinary  times  the  trees  put 
forward  their  leaves  and  cease  to  produce  gum  before  the 
actual  arrival  of  the  rains — this  being  due_  to_  their  taking 
moisture  from  the  atmosphere  alone.  It  is  impossible  to 
forecast  the  tendency  of  prices.  Looa.1  prices  have  been  for 
eome  time  on  a  "  war  "  basis  and  otherwise  unpreoedeoted. 
Ii;  is  difficult  to  believe  that  certain  exporters  are  not  still 
short  against  their  contracts,  and  even  when  OTerseas  buyete 
have  risen  to  the  equivalent  of  local  rates,  that  tlie  buying 
is  not  largely  speculative  or  against  contracts  undelivecred. 
The  exports  during  Januaiy  to  Mardi  1929  amounted  to 
6,931  tons,  against  7,739  tons  for  the  correspondi.ag  period 
of  1928.  During  the  1929  quarter  Great  Britain  imported 
1,469  tons,  against  1,741;  the  U.S.A.  1,547  tons,  against 
1,597  tons;  Germany,  1,103,  against  1,098,  and  France  692 
against  1,132  tors  in  the  corresponding  quarter  of  1928.

Percentage  Calculations 

Sdr, — Your  coxrespondenit  "  Veritas  "  {0.  <&  D.,  May  18, 
p.  616)  raises  queries  more  interesting  than  novel.  His 
No.  1  undoubtedly  means  olive  oil  wit'h  2  per  cent,  of 
carbolic  acid.  No.  2  as  an  anomaly,  but  liquids  are  alwayis 
takeo  v/v  unless  specifically  desired  otherwise.  The  1923 
D.D.  Act  muddled  the  whole  thing  by  legalising  w/v,  and 
the  only  thing  now  is  to  apply  common  sense  i.n  interpreta- 
tion. No.  1  should  be  8.75  gr.  of  carbolic  acid,  as  if  s.g. 
is  to  be  taken  into  account  we  assume  that  the  average 
doctor  has  an  understanding  of  the  subject,  which  is  far 
beyond  him. — I  am,  etc., 

Semper  Idem  (17/5). 

SiE, — Replying  to  "  Veritas,"  I  should  in  both  the 
examples  he  gives  deliver  3j.  fluid,  and  where  solids  are 
dissolved  in  water  should  calculate  the  percentage  w/w; 
but  if  this  method  is  adopted,  to  be  consistent  one  could 
not  ignore  the  gravity  where  the  solvent  is  an  oil. 
Glycerin  being  a  fluid,  I  shoiuld  treat  by  the  rule  "  fluids 
by  measure,"  and  therefore  calculate  by  volume.  But 
when  we  have  decided  this  abstruse  problem  and  have 
meticulously  weighed  or  measured  our  product,  the  dis- 
turbing thought  arises  whether  the  prescriber  himself 
knows  what  he  intends  or  if  he  could  work  out  the  quan- 
tities, and  whether  the  difference  between  w/w  and  w/v 
would  make  the  slightest  difference  to  the  patient. 

Yours  truly,

Electioneering  in  the  'Sixties 

Sir,— It  happened,  in  my  early  apprenticeship  days, 
that  I  saw  something,  and  perhaps  heard  more  than  I 
saw,  of  electioneering  in  my  native  town  :  I  fancy  no 
one  who  was  privileged  to  see  the  1868  election  there  is 
likely  to  forget  it.  Yarmouth,  on  the  East  Coast,  has 
always  been  reckoned  by  many  old  natives  to  be  the 
real  Eatanswill  of  Dickens ;  and  although  another  town 
has  perhaps  a  better  claim  to  the  honour,  Yarmouth, 
for  us,  was  near  enough.  I  remember  an  earlier  elec- 
tion, probably  in  1864,  when  the  place  for  a  few  days 
seemed  to  be  overrun  with  flags,  banners  and  posters ; 
carriages  many  and  frequent ;  free  rides,  and  by  all 
accounts  free  beer.  Hustings  for  the  candidates  and 
open  polling  booths  for  the  voters  were  the  rule.  There 
was  an  aftermath  of  unpleasantness,  and  numbers  of 
people  were  reported  to  have  come  in  for  useful  legacies 
as  to  which  heads  were  shaken  and  long  faces  pulled. 
By  1868  I  was  an  apprentice  to  the  drug  trade;  and 
as  my  master's  shop  was  situated  at  the  top  corner  of 
the  row  in  Gaol  Street  (as  it  used  to  be),  where  was 
the  house  of  detention,  the  old  Tol  Hall,  I  was  able  to 
witness  a  section  of  the  proceedings.  There  was  a  beer- 
house opposite  the  gaol  that  was  busier  than  ever,  and 
throughout  the  town  Eatanswill  was  produced  to  the 
hfe.  The  old  bus  that  plied  between  Lowestoft  and 
Yarmouth  may,  like  Tony  Weller's  coach,  liave  spilled 
a  few  voters  on  the  way.  There  were  coach-houses  and 
stables  where  free  and  enlightened  electors,  temporarily 
overcome,  could  sleep  off  their  potations — and  perhaps 
a  score  or  so  were  kept  under  cover  'pro  tein.  Myself, 
very  busy  and  industrious  keeping  clean  the  top  of 
the  window  enclosure  and  carboys,  had  a  good  view 
of  an  important  point,  viz.,  the  town  gaol,  for  with 
all  the  generous  liquor  and  excitement  it  was  not  long 
before  some  of  the  weaker-headed  got  into  contact 
with  the  police.  Prisoners  sentenced  by  the  magistrates 
to  brief  periods  were  marched  along  Gaol  Street  and  put 
through  the  iron-studded  door  leading  to  the  cells.  It 
was  rather  pitiful  in  a  way.  The  election  only  just 
begun ;  two  or  three  days  more  to  go ;  beer  to  be  had 
almost  for  nothing — and  here  they  were  bottled  up ! 
Possibly  their  last  glimpse  of  freedom  was  of  certain 


pint  pots  of  frothing  ale  at  the  public  house  opposite, 
easily  seen  through  the  windows.  However,  in  the 
lock-up  they  would  be  able  to  hear  the  jubilation  and  at 
the  least  smell  the  popular  beverage;  for  the  town 
inside  and  out  was  redolent  of  hops.  Stray  errands 
here  and  there  gave  me  opportunities  to  watch  events 
in  other  streets,  listen  to  speakers  and  the  usual  rough 
chaff,  watch  the  voters  exercise  their  franchise,  and 
so  on.  It  was  apparent  that  many  had  great  difficulty 
in  making  up  their  minds ;  pros  and  cons  were  discussed 
in  the  streets.  Now  and  then  one  would  see  a  third 
man  called  into  consultation  when — round  the  corner — 
a  final  and  more  weighty  consideration  would  emerge 
and  the  voter  be  secured.  -Modern  readers  might  be 
inclined  to  consider  Eatanswill  an  exaggeration,  but 
even  in  '68  it  would  not  be  much  beyond  the  actual 
practices  prevailing.  Speakers  were  not  received  with 
much  show  of  reverence.  I  remember  one  highly 
respected  doctor  and  leading  townsman,  who  at  a  meeting 
was  told  by  some  ribald  individual  what  he  was  in  the 
habit  of  giving  his  patients.  It  was  nothing  from  the 
Pharmacopoeia,  but  the  incident  was  received  up- 
roariously. The  doctor  used  to  tell  the  story  himself 
later.  This  year  saw  for  the  old  town,  and  others,  the 
last  of  such  elections.  Subsequent  events"  of  the  kind 
may  have  been  boisterous,  but  certainly  not  so  costly. 
Though  we.  mostly  considered  the  old  methods  deplor- 
able, I  fancy  we  rather  enjoyed  the  times.  Plenty  of 
gossip,  and  perhaps  scandal,  kept  the  interest  alive  for 
months. — I  am,  etc.,

Council  Election 

Sir, — To  all  those  who  supported  my  candidature 
during  the  recent  election,  and  to  the  many  who  have 
written  me  in  connection  with  the  same,  may  I  tender 
my  sincere  thanks  and  express  the  hope  that  I  may 
be  able  to  further  justify  the  confidence  reposed  in  me? 
Faithfully  yours,

Calendar  of  the  P.S.N .1. 

SiR^ — Tlie  first  appearance  of  a  Phannaceutical 
Calendar  is  an  event  of  some  interest  and  importance, 
so  that  the  new  publication  of  the  Pharmaceutical 
Society  of  Northern  Ireland  (C.  <&  D.,  May  18,  p.  586)  is 
worthy  of  comment.  Tlie  dignified  appearance  and 
lay-out  of  this  volume  is  no  doubt  based  to  some  extent 
upon  that  of  the  older  Irish  Society,  but  the  absence  of 
advertisements  is  commendable.  The  poison  laws  and 
D.D. A.  Regulations  of  Northern  Ireland  in  this  volume 
should  be  of  advantage  to  qualified  persons  and  students 
alike.  A  feature  which  is  new  to  many  is  the  Register 
of  Apprentices  ;  this  should  tend  to  inculcate  a  worthy 
pride  of  position  in  the  mind  of  the  apprentice.  As  the 
Pairchild  scholarship  is  open  .  to  Northern  Ireland 
students,  details  and  jonditions  of'  entry  would  be 
helpful  to  eligible  candidiates,  if  incorporated  in  the  next 
calendar.  As  reciprocity  exists  now  between  the  Phar- 
maceutical Societies  of  Great  Britain  and  Northern 
Ireland,  it  is  possible  that  the  Leverhulme  scholarship 
conditions  might  be  extended  to  include  N.I.  pharmacy 
students.  Some  time  ago  an  announcement  was  issued 
stating  that  arrangements  had  been  made  with  the 
Queen's  University  of  Belfast  for  a  B.Sc.  degree  in 
pharmacy.  No  mention  of  this  appears  in  the  Calendar. 
Among  the  Regulations  dealing  with  the  Sale  of  Methy- 
lated Spirits,  one  reads  (in  italics)  :  "  There  shall  be 
affixed  to  every,  bottle  or  vessel  containing  such  spirits 
a  label  bearing  the  name  'and  address  of  seller,  and  the 
name  and  address  of  person  making  the  sale."  This 
last  clause  has  been  a  source  of  argument  to  some.  It 
has  been  insisted  upon,  by  at  least  one  head  constable, 
that  this  means  the  nam©  and  private  address  of  person 
making  the  sale,  whereas  it  has  been  the  custom  for 
this  address  to  be  given  as  the  business  address  of  the 
employer.  Possibly  this  position  could  be  cleared  up. 
These  comments  are  penned  with  a  view  towards  con- 
structive helpfulness,  and  in  keen  appreciation  of  the 
labour  and  toil  involved  in  compiling  what  is  a  most 
excellent  calendar. — Yours  faithfully, 

Ahk.ay  (16/5).

The  Chemist  and  Druggist 


May  25,  1929 


Advertised  Proprietaries 

Sir, — Mr.  iMil'.ion,  in  his  letter  entitled  "  Be  Fair  to  the 
Manufacturer  "  [C.  tC  D.,  May  11,  p.  581),  seems  to  for- 
get our  fundamental  cause  of  complaint,  whicli  is  that 
many  of  tiie  advertised  lines  are  merely  copies  or  pirated 
editions  of  goods  which  the  chemist  made  and  sold  years 
before  the  proprietary  medicine  trade  reached  its  present 
stage.  Why  we  should  be  foolish  enough  to  enc-ourage 
the  sale  of  ordinary  drugs  under  a  bi-anded  title,  and 
accept  ridiculous  bonuses  for  the  use  of  our  vnndows  to 
push  the  sSile  of  a  line  which  only  kills  one  of  our  regular 
(Sellers,  passes  my  comprehension.  There  is  nothing  what- 
ever to  prevent  us  getting  up  a  little  competition  on  our 
own  account,  and  I  have  always  advocated  this  where 
there  is  much  overlapping  by  grocers  and  others.  After 
all,  we  open  a  shop  for  the  sale  of  commodities  in  public 
demand,  aad  I  see  no  reason  why  any  loss  of  dignity 
sliould  be  entailed  in  selling  boxes  of  matches  any  more 
tl-ian  by  retailing  .pennyworths  of  pills  :  anything  that  we 
can  sell  legitimately  and  that  there  is  a  demand  for  is  an 
addition  to  turnover. — Yours,  etc., 

DiGNITAS  (21/5). 

A  Question  of  Terms 

Sir, — I  do  not  often  rush  into  print,  but  our  treatment 
by  Messrs.  Eno  makes  one  ask  the  qu.estion  :  is  it  worth 
while  showing  any  advertised  proprietary?  Up  to  a 
point  the  P.A.T.A.  has  been  so  successful  that  it  has 
made  us  lazy.  We  have  relied  on  the  P.A.T.A.  to  look 
after  t'he  profit  for  us,  and  by  doing  so  have  made  a  rod 
for  our  own  back.  The  line  of  lea^t  resistance  is  to  give 
window  shows,  but  then  what  happens?  The  line  becomes 
popular  ;  the  grocer  and  oil  shops,  drapers  and  stores  take 
it  up,  and  the  cutters  in  the  markets.  Eventually  we  lose 
a  large  proportion  of  the  sales  which  we  have  Jbelped  to 
create.  Obviously  we  are  unable  to  compete  with  these 
cutters  because  of  the  P.A.T.A.  This  cutting  is  growing, 
and  the  P.A.T.A.  a-re  powerless  to  stop  it.  Looking 
through  my  balance-sheets,  I  notice  my  percentage  of 
gross  profit-  before  the  war  was  'higher  than  it  is  to-day, 
in  spite  of  the  cutting  that  was  so  prevalent  then,  for  the 
simple  reason  that  we  put  energy  into  our  own  lines.  To 
cue  out  all  window  shows  of  proprietary  goods  and  push 
our  own -lines  and  those  of  Ucal  is  tlie  only  remedy. 

Yours  faithfully, 

Bbixt'on  (21/5). 


T.  It.  B.  (14/58).— FuKsixuEE  polishes.— The  first 
two  of  the  following  formulas  are  of  the  cream  type, 
while  the  others  are  more  modern  recipes  : — 


Miscellaneous  Inquiries 

When  samples  are  sent  particulars  should  be  supplied  to  us 
as  to  their  origin,  what  they  are,  what  they  are  used  for, 
and  how.  We  do  not  undertake  to  analyse  and  report 
upon  proprietary  articles  nor  to  publish  supposed 
formulas  for  them. 

H.  B.  (18/48). — Cleaning  skylights. — We  are  not 
acquainted  with  the  nature  of  the  preparation  used  by 
the  railway  companies,  but  suggest  you  try  either  of  the 
following  : — [a)  Soap  ^  part,  pearl  ash  2  parts,  water  a 
sufficiency;  {h)  solution  of  sodium  bisulphate. 

Cauls  (15/58). — Dog  nuisance. — The  usual  method  of 
deterring  dogs  from  defiling  shop  fronts  is  by  sprinkling 
freshly  jiowdered  ammonium  carbonate  or  a  mixture  of 
powdered  sodium  bisulphite  (4),  tartaric  acid  (1),  the 
evolved  gas  in  either  case  being  distasteful  to  the  animal. 
It  is  necessary,  however,  to  take  extra  precautions  to  keep 
the  lower  part,  of  the  shop"  front  clean  by  systematically 
washing  with  soft  soap  and  warm  water.  This  should 
be  done  as  a  routine,  and  after  the  paint  has  dried  the 
powder  mentioned  alaove  should  be  distributed. 

P.  I.  N.  (15/58). — ^Haib,  fixing  prepabation. — Muci- 
lage made  from  quince  seed  or  linseed  could  be  used  in 
place  of  tragacartth.  Alternatives  would  be  lime  cream 
or  a  solution  of  per  cent,  of  castor  oil  in  industrial 
spiiit,  suitably  perfumed. 

T.  B.  (4/58). — Label  protective. — Presumably  you 
have  tried  the  usual  method  of  sizing  and  varnishing. 
Another  way  of  protecting  the  labels  against  drips  is  as 
follows  : — Give  the  label  a  thin  coat  of  collodion,  and 
when  this  is  dry  go  over  it  with  a  warm  solution  of 
gelatin  (say,  1  in  5).  Just  before  the  gelatin  solidifies 
moisten  it  with  40  per  cent,  formalin  and  allow  to  diy.

■  E.  -  M.  H.  (26/4). — Corrosion  of  aluminium.— 
Aluminium  culinary  utensils,  these  are  generally  made 
of  substantially  pure  aluminium  sheet,  but  some  are 
drawn  in  98.5  :  1.5  aluminium-manganese  alloy. 
Aluminium  is  attacked  by  hard  industrial  waters.  The 
corrosion  is  almost  always  accompanied  by  the  formation 
of  relatively  deep  pits  and  blisters.  Each  of  the  salts 
commonly  present  in  hard  waters,  such  as  sodium 
chloride,  calcium  eulphate  and  calcium  bicarbonate,  has 
a  specific  corrosive  effect  on  aluminium.  This  action, 
however,  is  relatively  slight  as  compared  with  that 
which  occurs  when  all  three  are  present.  Aluminium 
can,  to  some  extent,  be  rendered  immune  to  attack  by 
being  coupled  to  a  more  electro-positive  metal  or  alloy, 
such  as  aluminium  containing  5  per  cent,  of  tin.  Paints 
and  varnishes,  as  protective  coatings,  have  not  proved 
satisfactory.  The  "  anodic  oxidation  "  process  has, 
however,  given  promising  results.  Hard  waters  to  which 
0.01  per  cent,  of  potassium  nitrate,  potassium  bichromate 
or  sodium  silicate  in  excess  of  that  required  to  soften 
the  water  has  been  added,  do  not  pit  aluminium.  Boiled 
or  boiling  water  does  not  attack  the  metal  appreciably. 

E.  M.  E.  (8/4). — (1)  Vanishing  creams. — These  were 
dealt  with  at  considerable  length  in  the  following  issues 
of  The  Chemist  and  Druggist  : — June  25,  1927 ;  July  9, 
1927 ;  July  16,  1927.  (2)  Beauty  culture  formulas. — 
The  article  to  which  you  refer  was  published  in  the 
O.  &  D.,  August  28,  1926. 

B.  C.  T.  (7/58). — Commission  should  always  be  paid

COMMERCIAL  COMPENDIUM 

deaJs  witK  the  Ir^de  side  of  pKevi  macy 
m   -i^ 


[Commenced  C.  &  D.,  July  5,  19241 

Ramie  is  one  of  the  chief  substitutes  for  flax  fibres 
employed  in  the  textile  manufacturing  industry.  The 
plants  belong  to  the  nettle  family,  Urticacecc,  and  there 
are  many  varieties,  of  which  the  best  fibre  yielding 
species  are  Baehmeria  tenacissma  (green  leaved)  and 
Boehnieria  nivea  (white  leaved).  The  former  is.  grown 
in  Java,  Sumatra,  Borneo,  Malacca  and  Mexico,  while 
the  latter  is  mostly  confined  to  China,  India  and 
Formosa.  The  fibre  is  known  in  India  as  "  rhea,"  and 
the  produce  from  China,  which  is  usually  hand-cleaned, 
is  described  as  "  China  grass."  The  woven  fabric  is 
marketed  by  Britain  and  the  United  )States  principally 
and  is  often  cottonised. 

Rayon  is  the  term  which  has  been  universally  adopted 
to  describe  .all  artificial  silk  fabrics,  the  word  having  been 
used  in  this  sense  by  the  French  from  the  early  days  of 
the  industry.  The  observations  by  John  Mercer  of  the 
action  of  acids  and  alkalis  on  cotton,  may  be  regarded  as 
the  starting-point  of  the  research  work  from  which  this 
gi-owing  industry  has  sprung.  The  process  of  forming 
artificial  silk  threads  or  filaments  is  an  imitation  of  the 
natural  method  performed  hy  the  silkworm  as  if  builds  its 
cocoon.  The  production  of  cellulose  acetate  threads  is 
the  ultimate  object  and  the  outline  of  the  method  is  as 
followis: — ^Cotton  which  has  previously  .been  bleached  and 
scoured  is  treated  with  acetic  anhydride,  glacial  acetic  acid 
and  a  trace  of  sulphuric  acid  ;  after  standing  for  some 
hours  the  cellulose  acetate  which  has  formed  h  dissolved 
out  in  acetone  or  any  other  appropriate  solvent,  the  solu- 
tion is  filtered  and  forced  throug(h  fine  nozzles  into  an 
atmosphere  of  warm,  dry  air,  where  coagulation  takes 
place,  and  the  threads  are  wound  on  to  suitahle  receptacles. 

Ready  Reckoner. — This  is  a  book  with  calculations  of 
useful  amounts  already  made  (generally  to  the  nearest 
farthing),  such  as  the  multiplication  of  sums  of  money, 
percentages,  and  so  on,  and  it  is  a  time-and  labour-saving 
item  which  should  find  a  place  on  the  chemist's  desk. 
Even  the  man  who  is  quick  and  accurate  at  figures  ._an 
use  a  ready  reckoner  with  advantage,  for  it  provides  an 
independent  check  on  his  calculations,  and  enables  trade 
discounts  and  commissions  to  be  verified  quickly.  It  is 
as  well  for  the  chemist  to  mark  in  the  ready  reckoner 
those  sections  in  which  the  percentages  and  other  calcula- 
tions most  affecting  his  particular  business  are  located, 
in  order  that  they  may  be  turned  up  with  the  least 
possible  delay. 

Realgar. — ^This  substance  is  the*  naturally  occurring 
form  of  arsenic  disulphide.  It  is  found  in  oblique 
rhombic  prisms  belonging  to  the  monoclinic  system.  They 
have  an  orange-yellow  colour.  It  is  found,  together  with 
lead  and  silver  ores,  in  the  Hartz  Mountains  and  other 
localities,  and  has  been  found  in  minute  crystals  in 
Vesuviam  lavas.  The  artificial  arsenic  disulphide  is  known 
as  red  arsenic  glass  or  ruby  sulphur. 

Rebate. — A  deduction  from  a  sum  of  money  to  be  paid. 
In  banking,  a  drawee  taking  up  a  bill  of  exchange  before 
it  becomes  due  may  be  granted  a  rebate,  which  is 
equivalent  to  interest  on  the  unexpired  period  of  the 
bill.  Some  shipping  companies  allow  a  rebate  on  freights 
tinder  an  agreement  extending  over  a  given  period. 
Drawback  on  certain  articles  is  subject  to  rebate — e.g., 
the  rate  of  drawback  on  beer  per  standard  barrel  is  sub- 
ject to  a  rebate  per  bulk  barrel.    (-See  Drawback.) 

Receiver. — An  official  appointed  to  take  charge  of  an 
undertaking  on  behalf  of  the  debenture-holders  when 
there  has  heen  a  default  of  interest,  or  on  behalf  of 
general  creditors.  This  process  is  equivalent  of 
"  putting  the  brokers  in." 


Recipe. — The  O.E.D.  definition  (Sense  2)  is  "  a  formula 
for  a  medical  prescription  ;  a  prescription,  or  the  rernedy 
prepared  in  accordance  with  this."  The  earliest  quota- 
tion given  for  this  sense  of  the  v.ord  dates  from  1584. 
It  seems  probable  that  the  word  was  first  used  at  the 
beginning  of  every  prescription,  as  it  still  is  in  the 
symbol  "  5,"  and  that  it  was  afterwards  adopted  as  a 
name  for  the  jsreiscription  itself.  The  most  usual  conno- 
tation of  the  word  in  pharmacy  is  a  formula  for  any 
remedy  or  other  prescription,  written  usually  in  English 
and  not  by  a  medical  ijractitioner,  dentist  or  veterinary 
surgeon. 

Reciprocity.— Section  4  (b)  of  the  Poisons  and 
Pharmacy  Act,  1908,  provides  for  "  registration,  upon  pay- 
ment of  the  prescribed  fee,  as  pharmaceutical  chemists  or 
chemists  and  druggists  under  the  Pharmacy  Acts,  1852 
and  1868,  without  examination,  of  any  persons  holding 
colonial  diplomas  "  by  the  Pharinaceutical  Society  of 
Great  Britain.  Each  case  is  considered  by  the  Council  of 
the  Society,  and  reciprocal  an-angements  have  been  made 
with  States  in  the  Commonwea.lth  of  Australia  and,  to  a 
limited  extent,  in  Canada.  Reciprocity  with  Northern 
Ireland  has  been  ensured  by  the  passing  of  the  Phar- 
macy Act,  1929. 

Re-Conditioned  is  a  term  applied  to  crude  drugs  which 
have  been  damaged  by  sea  or  fresh  water,  or  by  fire, 
etc.,  and  subsequently  made  merchantable  and  re-packed. 

Record  Card. — Title  of  a  card  issued  to  every  employed 
contributor  under  the  National  Health  Insurance  and 
Pensions  scheme.  It  contains  a  record  of-  {a)  contribu- 
tions paid,  and  (b)  of  benefits  and  charges,  the  total 
sum  available  at  any  time  being  ascertainable  by  deduct- 
ing amounts  entered  under  (5)  from  amounts  entered 
under  (a). 

Red  Cinchona  Bark. — ^ee  Cinchona. 

Reddle.— See  Raddle. 

Red  Gum. — -See  Eucalyptus  Gum. 

Re-direction  of  Letters. — Any  kind  of  postal  packet  may 
he  re-directed  to  the  same  addressee  at  another  address, 
either  by  an  officer  of  the  post  office  or  by  an  agent  of  the 
addressee  after  delivery,  without  additional  charge.  This 
applies  to  letters,  postcards,  printed  papers  and  news- 
papers. The  packet  must  be  reposted  not  later  than  'the 
day  after  delivery  (Sundays  and  public  holidays  not  being 
counted),  and  must  not  previous  to  redirection  be  opened 
or  tampered  with.  Redirected  packets  reposted  later  than 
the  day  after  delivery  will  be  liable  to  charge  at  the  pre- 
paid rate. 

Red  Lead. — This  is  prepared  from  lead  monoxide  (PbO) 
by  heating  in  air  at  temperatures  not  over  300°  C. 
Oxygen  is  absorbed,  the  red  oxide  (PbjOj)  being  formed. 
The  ordinary  composition  is  Pb^O,  =2PbO.Pb02,  but 
samples  have  been  found  corresponding  with  Pb^O,— 
SPbO.PbO,.  It  is  crystalline  in  structure,  s.g.  8.62—9.19. 
On  heating  it  darkens  in  colour,  but  regains  it:5  colour  on 
cooling,  further  heating  resulting  in  oxygen  being  given 
off.  Nitric  acid  partially  dissolves  red  lead,  leaving  lead 
dioxide  as  a  pm-ple-brown  powder,  but  if,  however,  a  little 
sugar  or  starch  is  added  to  the  nitric  acid  the  red  lead 
will  be  completely  dissolved.  In  dilute  acid  the  lead 
■passes  into  solution  as  lead  nitrate,  but  if  the  acid  is 
concentrated  .the  nitrate  crystallises  out.  Addition  of 
hydrochloric  acid  to  lead  dioxide  or  to  red  lead  results  in 
the  evolution  of  chlorine,  according  to  the  following 
formulffi  :  PbO,  +  4HC1  =  PbCI,  +  CI,  +  2H,0 ;  Pb30, 
-f8HCl  =  3PbOl,+Cl2+4H,0.  The  chlorine  evolved  may 
be  passed  into  a  solution  of  potassium  iodide  and  the 
liberated  iodine  titrated  with  thiosulphate  to  give 
indirectly  the  amount  of  lead  dio-xide  in  red  lead.  Red 
lead  is  used  almost  entirely  as  a  pigment.  It  should  be 
used  with  raw  linseed  oil,  as  with  boiled  oil  it  dries  too 
quickly,  giving  a  brittle  surface. 

Red  Mercuric  Iodide. — Hydrargyri  iodidum  rubrum,  B.P., 
is  prepared  by  adding  a  solution  of  40  parts  of  mercuric 
chloride  in  800  parts  of  water  to  50  parts  of  potassium 
iodide  in  800  parts  of  water.  Mercuric  iodide  is  precipi- 
tated, as  it  is  almost  insoluble  in  water.  The  B.P.C.  and 
the  U.S. P.  both  require  a  purity  of  99  per  cent,  mercuric 
iodide.  It  is  a  bright  scarlet  powder,  turning  yellow  at 
about  150°  C.    It  is  readily  soluble  in  alcohol,  castor  or

olive  oils,  ether  and  potassium  iodide  and  mercuric 
chloride  solutions,  aind  almost  insoluble  in  water,  but  the 
addition  of  4/5th  of  its  weight  of  potassium  iodide  renders 
it  soluble.  It  is  used  in  surgery  as  an  antiseptic  in  aqueous 
solution  (1  in  2,000 — 5,000)  for  wounds,  and  in  spii;it  (1  in 
500  —2.000)  for  the  skin  and  hands.  A  solution  in  olive  oil 
is  also  used  for  hypoderndic  injections.  An  ointment  1  in  4 
is  used  in  \  eterinary  practice  to  produce  vesication. 

Red  Mercuric  Oxide — .S'ee  Precipitate  Red. 

Red  Mercuric  Sulphide  This  substance  is  largely  used 

under. the  name  vermilion  as  a  pigment.  It  is  also  used 
in  medicine  (hydrarg.  sulpli.  rub.)  in  the  form  of  an  oint- 
ment, 1  to  2  per  cent.,  for  chronic  skin  diseases,  or  in 
place  of  calomel  for  mercurial  fumigation.  It  is  identical 
in  composition  with  cinnabar,  but  cinnabar  is,  however, 
rarely  bright  enough  for  use  as  a  pigment.  It  is  Tisually 
prepared  artificially  from  mercury  and  sulphur  by  either 
the  "  dry  "  or  "  wet  "  processes.  Both  require  the  pre- 
paration of  a  blackish  sulphide  of  mercury,  known  as 
Ethiops  mineral,  by  grinding  mercury  and  sulphur 
together.  It  is  usual  to  use  an  excess  of  sulphur  and 
remove  any  Uiucombined  sulphur  by  treatment  with  nitric 
acid.  By  the  dry  i3rocesses  the  red  sulphide  is  prepared 
from  Ethiops  mineral  by  heating  and  sublimation.  The 
wet  processes  necessitate  the  addition  of  potassium 
hydroxide  and  heating  for  several  hours  at  50°  C. 
Examination  of  vermiliori  can  usually  be  carried  out  by 
agitating  with  alcohol,  allowing  to  settle,  then  filtering  off 
the  alcohol.  The  presence  of  eosin,  or  any  other  dye 
added  to  enhance  the  colour,  would  give  a  pink  colour  to 
ifthe  alcohol.  The  determination  of  the  ash  on  ignition  at 
a  fairly  low  temperature  can  be  used  as  a  criterion  of  the 
amount  of  inorganic  adulteration.  There  should  not  be 
more  than  1  or  2  per  cent,  of  residue.  The  more  usual 
adulterants  are  red  lead  and  scarlet  antimony  sulphide. 
Chinese  vermilion,  which  has  a  reputation  for  excellent 
coloiu-,  generally  contains  a  small  amount  of  glue. 

Red  Metal  A  term  applied  to  alloy,  about  90  per  cent. 

copper  and  ten  per  cent.  zinc. 

Red  Pepper. — See  Capsicums. 

Red  Poppy  Petals. — Papaver  Ithmados,  Linn.  (N.O. 
Paijaveracece).  Six  species  of  red  poppy  occur  wild  in 
this  country,  but  as  the  petals  are  usually  gathered  by 
cottagers'  children,  attention  is  not  paid  to  the  slight 
differences  they  present.  The  official  species  has  large 
scarlet  petals  and  a  roundish  capsule  without  bristles  on 
it.  P.  duhiurn  differs  in  having  a  narrower  club-sliai>ed 
capsule  without  bristles  and  rather  broader  segments 
to  the  leaves  and  the  petals  are  of  a  paler  red  tint. 
Another  species,  P.  Lecoquii,  has  also  a  club-shaped  cap- 
sule, and  the  sap  becomes  daik  yellow  in  the  air. 
A  third  species,  P.  argctnone.  has  also  a  clavate  bristly 
capsule,  but  has  small  pale  red  flowers.  A  species  with 
roundish  capsules  and  small  flowers,  P.  hyhridum,  differs 
from  P.  Rhoeas  in  the  capsules  being  bristly  and  small 
flowers,  often  purplish,  having  a  dark  spot  at  the  base. 
Only  one  of  these,  P.  dvbhtm,  is  objectionable,  but  it 
is  easily  distirtguished  by  its  club-shaped  cajasule  without  • 
bristles  and  rather  paler  red  flower.  The  petals  of  this 
species  contain  a  toxic  alkaloid,  aporeine,  resembling  the- 
baine  in  its  action,  and  they  should  therefore  be  rejected 
if  possible.  The  flavour  of  P.  RlLoeas  contains  besides 
rhoeadine  a  new  alkaloid  obtained  by  Hesse  (Archiv  der 
Pharm.,  1890,  p. 7),  but  its  properties  have  not  yet,  been 
ascertained.  In  some  places  the  red  poppy  petals  have 
a  more  or  less  large  purple  spot  at  the  base,  possibly 
derived  from  hybridisation  with  a  garden  species, 
Papaver  umlirosum,  as  the  red  poppies  so  markecl  have 
a  deeper  red  colour  and  give  a  finer  red  syrup  than  the 
tyjjical  flowers.  The  colouring  matter  of  the  petals  is 
probably  partly  due  to  mecocyanin,  possibly  combined 
with  an  acid,  and  partly  also  to  the  alkaloid  rhofadine, 
which  is  known  to  yield  an  intense  red  colouring  niatte. 
when  decomposed  by  hydrochloric  acid.  The  alkaloid 
rhoeadine  is  also  contained  in  opium.  The  collection  or 
red  poppy  petals  by  the  hundred weinht  i.'i  a  nuittci  of 


some  difficulty  as  they  are  often  required  in  quan- 
tities up  to  a  ton,  so  that  previous  arrangements  are 
necessary.  Although  the  red  poppy  keeps  in  blossom 
for  several  vv'eeks,  there  are  only  three  weeks  during 
whieh  the  flowers  are  plentiful  enough  to  pay  the 
collectors;  these  are  normally  the  last  week  in  June  and 
the  first  two  in  July,  so  that  at  the  rate  of  one  cwt. 
per  day,  only  1^  tons  could  be  gathered  during  the 
abundant  period.  Wet  weather  prevents  the  collection 
of  the  petals,  which,  as  they  already  contain  85  per  cent, 
of  water,  soon  collapse  into  a  pasty  mass  when  packed, 
and  must  be  sent  off  by  rail  the  same  evening  that 
they  are  coUectecl,  and  must  reach  the  wholesale  house 
not  later  than  Thursday  in  any  week  or  they  cannot 
be  dealt  with.  In  order  to  get  one  cwt.  even  in  a  day 
a  lorry  must  be  sent  round  to  villages  near  which  it  is 
abundant  to  collect  by  arrangement  with  cottagers  for 
the  petals  to  be  ready  when  the  motor  calls.

Registered  Druggist. — A  term  first  given  a  statutory 
meaning  in  the  Pliarmacy  Act  (Ireland),  1875,  Amend- 
ment Act,  1890,  which  also  set  up  a  class  of  qualified 
persons  known  as  chemists  and  druggists.  (See  Phar- 
macy Acts  :  Ireland.)  Apparently  there  was  some  doubt 
in  the  minds  of  the  framers  of  the  Act  whether  the 
single  .  word- "  druggists  "  was  to  be  used  to  designate 
registered  druggists— e.g. ,  in  Section  7  the  expression 
"  registered  as  a  druggist  "  is  used.  Registered  drug- 
gists are  entitled  (Sec.  5)  to  keep  open  shop  for  the 
sale,  retailing  or  mixing  of  poisons,  but  not  to  compound 
medical  prescriptions.  The  statutory  examination  com- 
prises (Sec.  8)  English,  arithmetic,  the  weights  and 
measures  of  the  British  Pharmacopoeia,  the  appearance 
and  properties  of  the  drugs  and  chemicals  in  general  use, 
and  the  Sale  of  Poisons  (Ireland)  Act,  1870;  and  every 
candidate  must  have  served  an  apprenticeship  of  not 
less  than  four  years  to  a  pharmaceutical  chemist, 
apothecary,  chemist  and  druggist,  or  registered  drug- 
gist. Registered  druggists  are  eligible  to  become  asso- 
ciate druggists  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Ireland, 
and  any  number  not  exceeding  seven  may  be  elected 
to  its  Council.  Druggists  or  chemists  and  druggists  who 
had  commenced  business  after  the  passing  of  the  Act  of 
1875  and  before  that  of  1890  became  effective  were 
entitled  to  be  registered  on  passing  a  modified  examina- 
tion and  paying  a  fee.  Section  7  of  the  Poisons  and 
Pharmacy  Act,  1908,  rectified  an  omission  from  the 
Irish  Act  of  1890  by  providing  for  carrying  on  the 
business  of  a  registered  druggist  or  chemist  and  druggist 
in  Ireland  after  his  death.  When  the  Pharmacy  and 
Poisons  Act  (Northern  Ireland),  1925,  came  into  force 
there  were  in  business  in  Northern  Ireland  several 
registered  druggists  holdii.y  the  qualification  of  the  1890 
Act.  Section  6  and  Schedule  2  of  the  Act  contain  pro- 
visions designed  to  facilitate  removal  from,  the  grade  of 
registered  druggist  to  that  of  pharmaceutical  chemist. 
While,  however,  the  Act  does  not  contemplate  the 
ultimate  survival  of  the  class,  provision  is  made  (Sec. 
8)  for  a  register  of  druggists,  who,  like  pharma- 
ceutical chemists  and  the  intermediate  class  of  chemists 
and  druggists,  are  required  (Sec.  17)  to  take  out  an 
aimual  licence  in  respect  of  each  shop.  -  {See  Pharmacy 
Acts  :  Northern  Ireland.)  A  limit  of  five  years  (ex- 
tensible for  another  five  years  at  the  discretion  of  the 
Council  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Northern  Ire- 
land) is  prescribed  (Sec.  19)  for  carrying  on  the  busi- 
ness of  a  deceased  druggist  under  qualified  manage- 
ment. As  in  the  Irish  Act  of  1890,  the  terms  "  druggist  " 
and  "  registered  druggist  "  are  both  used  in  the 
Northern  Ireland  Act.  Schedule  3  includes  a  form  of 
aimual  licence  for  a  person  or  company  carrying  on  the 
business  of  registered  druggist.  No  provision  was  made 
in  the  Act  for  continuing  such  businesses  of  deceased 
druggists  (and  the  two  other  classes)  as  were  already 
in  existence  :  this  oversight  was  remedied  in  the  Phar- 
macy (Temporary  Provisions)  Act  (Northern  Ireland), 
1926.

Make  money  from    the    demand   for    Natural  Drinks-- 

GOODALLS' 

Fruit  Squashes 

This  summer  you  will  sell  more  —  more  easily 


There  are  several  good  reasons  why 
you  will  make  more,  and  easier,  sales 

and  profits  during  the  summer  months  by  selling 
Goodall's  Natural  Fruit  Squashes.  What's  in  a 
name  ?  In  the  name  of  Goodall,  Backhouse  there 
is  a  very  big  measure  of  public  confidence.  Any- 
thing offered  under  that  name  is  accepted  without 
question  as  the  best  of 
its  kind.  This  simple 
guarantee  of  the  maker's 
reputation  means  easier 
sales.  ^  Appearance 
helps  largely,  too.  The 
decanters  in  which  these 
Fruit  Squashes  are  sold 
are  handsome  and  dis- 
tinctive in  appearance. 
They  are  the  sort  of 
bottles  that  promise 
something  good  inside, 
that  look  as  though  the 
maker's  had  produced 
something  worth  offer- 
ing in  a  worth-while 
fashion.  Incidently  they  are  the  sort  of  bottles 
worth  keeping  after  the  contents  have  disappeared. 
Appearance  helps   towards  easier  sales. 


Quality  counts  most  of  all — more  particularly  in 
repeat  sales  which  are  most  profitable.  Goodall's 
Fruit  Squashes  are  as  good  as  pure  ingredients 
and  human  skill  can  make  them.  There  are  3 
flavours.  Lemon,  Orange  and  Grape  Fruit,  and 
each  is  made  from  fresh  fruit  and  pure  cane  sugar. 
No  synthetic  flavours  are  used  -  the  clean,  piquant, 
refreshing  flavour  comes 
from  fresh,  ripe  fruit, 
not  bought  unseen  from 
distant  groves  but  selec- 
ted by  experts  with  eye 
and  palate  from  the  latest 
arrivals  at  the  Leeds  Markets. 
Price  too,  counts  heavily. 
Goodall's  Natural  Fruit 
Squashes  are  as  good  in  qual- 
ity as  any  on  the  market  ; 
they  are  lower  in  price  than 
most. 

A  dozen  bottles  of 
Goodall's  Natural 
Fruit  Squashes 
are  in  themselves  a 
display  that  will  do  all 
the  selling  necessary. 

Backed  up  by  this  attractive  show-card  size  i2|in.  x  gin., 
given  free  with  each  order,  they  are  irresistible.  There  will 
be  a  big  demand  for  Fruit  Drinks  this  summer.  Send  an 
order  now  and  reap  the  golden  harvest.

SUPPLEMENT 


To  protect  our 
retail  friends 

against  making  a  loss  by 
stocking  Sunshine  Glaxo, 
we  now  date  every  tin  that 
is  issued. 

The  first  batch  issued  bears 
the  date  indicated  here,  and 
it  is  necessary  that  any 
stocks  so  marked  should  be 
sold  well  before  the  date 
indicated. 


WHAT  IS  SUNSHINE  GLAXO? 


The  wise  chemist  bears  in  mind  the  latest 
scientific  developments  and  gives  his  custo- 
mers the  benefit  of  his  knowledge  on  such 
subjects  as  nutrition. 

He  knows  that  no  milk-food  is  now  con- 
sidered entirely  satisfactory  unless  it  contains 
added  vitamin  D  (the  Sunshine  Vitamin). 

Sunshine  (Humanised)  Glaxo  has  set  the 
pace  in  this  respect.  It  approximates  closely 
in  composition  to  human  milk,  and  the 
added  vitamin  D  it  contains  makes  it  the 
perfect  food  for  infants.

OUR  50th  ANNIVERSARY 


LOOKING  BACK  we  cannot  but  marvel  at  the  rapid  growth  and 
development  of  our  business. 

Fifty  years  ago  Mr.  Alfred  Harrison  and  Partner  commenced  business  in  a  very  small 
way,  but  with  a  clearly  defined  business  policy,  i.e.,  to  provide  the  Chemists,  both  retailers 
and  manufacturers,  with  better  print  at  lower  prices. 

As  the  result  of  that  policy  and  good  service,  1929  finds  us  with  one  of  the  most 
perfectly  organised  printing  works  in  the  country 


Looking  Forward 


Our  highly  speciahsed  plant  of  Modern  Machinery,  and  the  perfect  organisation  of  our 
works,  enables  us  to  view  the  future  with  confidence.  No  matter  the  size  or  peculiarity 
of  an  order,  we  are  equipped  to  turn  it  out  with  the  utmost  speed  without  any  sacrifice  of 
quality.  That  our  prices  are  right  is  clearly  demonstrated  by  the  way  our  output  increases 
annually,  and  we  cordially  invite  you  to  get  into  touch  with  us  for  Labels,  Showcards, 
Cartons,  Display  Boxes — in  fact,  any  kind  of  print.

NINTH  EDITION 

Published  by  J.  &  A.  CHURCHILL, 
7  Gt.  Marlborough  St.,  London,  W.l. 


A  systematic  comparison  of  the  formulee  of  thirty- 
one  of  the  London  hospitals,  including  the  Children's 
Hospitals  and  the  French  Hospital.  The  formula;  are 
arranged  under  the  headings  of  the  various  prepara- 
tions so  that  an  immediate  comparison  may  be  made 
between  the  prescriptions  of  the  different  institutions. 

The  British  Medical  Journal  says—"  The  value  of 
the  book  to  the  medical  profession  is  even  greater  than 
that  of  its  predecessor,  since  it  comprises  a  practical 
compendium  of  all   the  best  medical  treatments." 

The  Lancet  says — "  There  can  be  no  question  of 
the  practical  utility  of  a  book  which  presents  an 
exhaustive  comparison  of  the  pharmacopoeias  of  the 
London  hospitals,  for  in  these  institutions  the  formula; 
will  be  selected  forthebest  reasons  which  the  knowledge 
of  the  day  can  furnish,  while  their  selectors  represent 
leading  authorities  on  all    therapeutic  questions."
